MIGAS RECIPE: MEXICAN SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CRISPY TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan and add the corn tortillas. Fry them lightly in the hot oil until they crisp up, flipping a bit, about 4-5 minutes. Remove them from the pan and set them into paper towels to drain. Sprinkle them with a bit of salt while they are hot.
• Next, add the peppers and onion to the hot pan and cook them down about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato, then pour in the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir.
• Cook the eggs, stirring here and there, about 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs just begin to set.
• Remove from heat and stir in the reserved crispy tortillas and shredded cheese.
• Top with spicy chili flakes, extra sliced peppers and avocado. And hot sauce if desired!

Steps:

• Cook the tortilla strips: Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the tortilla strips and cook, stirring and tossing, until they are all golden and crispy.
• Cook the vegetables: When the tortillas are crisp, add the bell pepper, chiles and onion to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs to the pan, season with salt and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring to scramble and combine, until most of the moisture is cooked out, then remove from the heat. Stir in the tomatoes. Serve topped with cheese.
