Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces corn tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion
- 1 small jalapeño
- 2 medium roma tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 medium lime
- optional toppings (sour cream, avocado, salsa)
Instructions
Cut the corn tortillas into strips or small squares.
Dice the onion, jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat), and tomatoes. Chop fresh cilantro and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk, salt, and pepper, then whisk until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tortilla strips and cook until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining olive oil and butter to the same skillet. Sauté the diced onion and jalapeño until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes until they start to soften.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for about 30 seconds, then gently scramble the mixture with a spatula.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, stir in the crispy tortilla strips and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently to combine and cook until the eggs are fully set, about 2-3 more minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the migas with chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side and optional toppings like sour cream, avocado, or salsa.
