Recently we have been experimenting with egg based breakfasts that are not your usual boiled eggs or omelettes. We started this year with the very successful Egg-white Frittata and wanted to try more of such recipes. It has also been a few months since we have posted any new Mexican recipes. So, we both of these ideas in our heads, we started searching for a morning egg based Mexican breakfast and it was a simple search - we found Migas !!
Migas are scrambled eggs which are made with many Mexican style veggies, meats, spices and related stuff. We chose to make a simple non-meat version using tortilla strips to add some crunch. It's flavourful, colourful and just a wonderful breakfast!
Ingredients
4 eggs (whisked with 1 tsp of water)
2 corn tortillas, cut in 1/2 inch strips
1 tomato, chopped finely
1 small onion, chopped finely
1/2 cup chopped red and yellow bell peppers
1 tbsp chopped jalapeños
3 tsp butter
Salt and white pepper
A bit of cilantro
Method
1. Make the crispy tortilla strips: Shallow fry the tortilla strips in 1 tsp butter and keep aside
2. Saute the onions and peppers in the remaining butter till they are soft but still a little crips. Probably just for about 5 minutes. At this point you can add the salt and white pepper.
3. Add the whisked eggs to the pan, lower the heat and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Add the tortilla strips, tomatoes and jalapeños and cook for another 2 minutes.
5. Take it off the heat and add the chopped cilantro.
Amigos - Serve fresh with a bit of salsa!!
