MIGAS (MEXICAN BREAKFAST EGG SKILLET) RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the frying oil in a cast-iron skillet or other heavy-bottomed pans to medium heat. Keep a close eye on the heat so as to not burn the tortillas when you begin frying them!
• Fry each tortilla in the oil until it is lightly brown and very crispy. Make sure to flip the tortillas so that both sides are browned.
• Once all of the tortillas are fried stack them on top of each other and cut them into little squares. You can do that by cutting them into strips and then cutting the strips into squares.
• Chop the red pepper and the onion into a fine dice. If you want a spicier breakfast, add jalapeños as well. Add the peppers and the onions to the frying pan along with the butter.
• Saute the vegetables until they are soft. Add the beaten eggs and the chopped tortillas to the pan. Carefully fold the eggs and tortillas into the vegetables. Be careful not to break up the eggs too much. Continue to cook until eggs are completely cooked through.
• Top with the Mexican cheese and the salsa verde. Allow the cheese to melt and serve immediately out of the skillet.

BREAKFAST MIGAS

Steps:

• Place skillet on the stove over medium heat and add enough oil to reach 1 inch. Once oil is hot, add cut tortilla pieces without overcrowding the skillet. Fry tortilla pieces in the hot oil, until they crisp up and achieve a golden color, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove tortilla chips with a slotted spoon and set on a plate covered with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste and continue working in batches until all tortilla pieces are fried and done. Reserve frying oil.
• Set a flat griddle or comal over medium-low heat and toast guajillo chiles until fragrant, about 20 seconds per side.
• Combine toasted chiles, tomatoes, and garlic in a saucepan and cover with hot water. Simmer over medium-low heat until guajillos are softened and tomatoes are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
• Combine chiles, tomatoes, garlic, onion, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, cumin, pepper, and reserved liquid in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Strain sauce.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a saucepan set over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, pour in sauce, and simmer until salsa thickens, 12 to 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning if desired.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of reserved frying oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add all tortilla chips once oil is hot and reheat for 1 minute. Pour in eggs and cook and stir until eggs are beginning to set. Add salsa and gently fold into the egg mixture until everything is covered in salsa and the eggs are cooked, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and serve immediately topped with green onions, cilantro, avocado, and cheese.
