Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Ideal for frying tortillas; olive oil can offer a lovely twist.
  • 4-6 pieces Corn Tortillas The heart of Migas, giving both crunch and tradition; use stale ones to reduce waste.
For the Veggies
  • 1 piece Jalapeño Pepper Adds a pleasant kick; substitute bell peppers for a milder taste.
  • 1 piece Red Bell Pepper Contributes sweetness and color; any bell pepper works well.
  • 1 piece Onion (White or Yellow) Adds savory depth; green onions provide a fresher flavor if desired.
For the Eggs
  • 4-5 pieces Eggs The backbone of the dish, providing protein; egg whites can lower cholesterol if preferred.
For the Filling
  • 1 piece Tomato Infuses freshness and juiciness; salsa can amp up the flavor instead.
  • to taste Salt and Pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust to your taste preference.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Pepperjack or Monterey Jack) Enhances creaminess; feel free to use any cheese you love.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, pour in about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it shimmers, approximately 2 minutes.
  2. Add 4-6 sliced corn tortillas to the hot oil, allowing them to fry for about 4-5 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced jalapeño, red bell pepper, and onion, sautéing for about 5 minutes on medium heat.
  4. Stir in 1 diced tomato, cooking for an additional minute until soft and juicy.
  5. Pour in 4-5 beaten eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, and cook while stirring gently for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and fold in the crispy tortillas and shredded cheese, gently mixing until the cheese melts.
  7. Plate your Migas and top with sliced jalapeños, avocado slices, or a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
