Migas

It's sort of hard to tell what is going on in this picture, but trust me, what migas lack in presentation they more than make up for in taste. Migas are made a bunch of different ways depending on where you get them, but basically they are corn tortillas, veggies, and eggs all scrambled together. This is such a great brunch food but I also really like it for dinner as well if I have some leftover tortillas to use up. This recipe serves 1 but can very easily be increased to feed as many as you want.

Ingredients:

1 corn tortilla
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3-4 slices of green pepper, diced
2-3 slices red onion, diced
2 slices tomato, diced
2-3 slices jalapeno, chopped
2 teaspoons (or a small pat) butter
2 eggs, slightly beaten
salt
pepper
1 small handful cilantro, chopped
3 slices avocado, diced
1 small hunk of queso fresco
1 spoonful sour cream
hot sauce

Directions:

In a cast iron (or other large)skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry tortilla until it is slightly crisp on both sides. If your oil is hot when you add the tortilla it should only take about 30 seconds to a minute on each side. Remove from pan and turn the heat down to low. Add green pepper, red onion, tomato, and jalapeno. While these are cooking, cut your tortilla into strips and then cut again so that you have small squares. When the veggies have cooked down but before they brown, add the tortilla pieces and the butter. Add eggs and gently fold everything together. Cook until the eggs are just set (don't brown them) then season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and place on a plate. Top with avocado, cilantro, queso fresco, sour cream, and hot sauce.
