Instructions:
-
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it shimmers, ensuring it’s evenly distributed across the surface.
-
Prepare the tortillas by cutting them into small, bite-sized pieces. Fry them in the heated oil until they turn crispy and golden brown. It’s essential to stir them continually to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
-
Add the onion to the pan if desired, allowing it to cook until it becomes translucent and slightly caramelized, adding a delicious flavor to the dish.
-
Crack the eggs directly into the pan with the crispy tortillas and onions. Cook the eggs, stirring gently, until they’re fully scrambled and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
-
Optional toppings: Feel free to customize your migas with additional ingredients such as diced tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, shredded cheese, or chopped hot chili peppers for an extra kick of flavor and heat.
-
Serve hot, straight from the pan, onto plates or bowls. Breakfast migas are best enjoyed fresh and piping hot, offering a comforting and satisfying start to your day.
Tips:
- For a healthier twist, you can use whole grain tortillas instead of corn tortillas.
- Experiment with different toppings to suit your taste preferences, such as avocado slices, salsa, or cilantro.
- Serve your breakfast migas with a side of freshly squeezed lime juice or a dollop of sour cream for added brightness and creaminess.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, although migas are best enjoyed fresh.
- If you’re short on time, you can prep the tortillas and vegetables ahead of time, making assembly a breeze when it’s time to cook.
- Breakfast migas are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed any time of day, not just for breakfast. Serve them as a quick and satisfying lunch or a hearty snack to keep you energized throughout the day.
