Traditional Migas Food

SPANISH MIGAS RECIPE

Steps:

• To start with the best Migas recipe you have to prepare the crumbs, which is recommended to do the night before. Crumble the bread and sprinkle it with a little water (make it slightly damp but not completely wet). Let it sit covered overnight.
• The next day, grab a pan and put enough oil to cover the bottom. Heat the oil and fry the bacon cut into strips (whatever size you want, I recommend an inch wide). Cook until golden brown and add the sliced ​​chorizo.
• Cook the chorizo ​​until it is tender and golden, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the chorizo ​​and bacon from the pan and set them aside for now. Leave the cooking oil in the pan to reuse it.
• In the pan put 6 cloves of garlic (peeled but not minced), and cook until golden brown for about 3 minutes. Add the breadcrumbs and stir.
• Stir until they are completely and evenly toasted (for about 5 to 7 minutes). Wait for them to toast to add the chorizo ​​and the bacon again, otherwise, they will become a kind of dense ball.
• Once toasted, add the chorizo ​​and bacon to heat everything together, for about 3 to 5 minutes. Serve your Migas hot.

• Pour in eggs and hot sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are close to your desired doneness, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes, avocado, lime juice, and Cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until eggs are scrambled to your desired doneness. Portion migas into serving bowls and top each with a dollop of sour cream.
