Mexican Migas | Recipe from Santa Maria

Ingredients

To whip up your own plate of Mexican Migas, here’s what you’ll need:

  • 6 corn tortillas, cut into strips
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

Now that you’ve got your ingredients ready, let’s jump into how you can make this delicious dish:

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add some oil. Once hot, toss in the tortilla strips and fry them until they’re crispy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, and sauté the onions and bell peppers until they’re soft, around 5 minutes.
  3. Now, add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they’re tender.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the veggies, stirring gently until they’re scrambled and cooked through.
  5. Finally, fold in the crispy tortilla strips and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Let it melt a bit (because who doesn’t love melty cheese?) and finish off with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Serve these delightful Mexican Migas hot, and watch everyone around the table light up with joy! Enjoy with a side of salsa or avocado for that extra oomph. Trust me, this dish is going to be a hit!
