Migas (Tex-Mex Skillet Eggs with Crispy Tortillas)

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the tortilla strips until crisp and golden. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, sauté the onions, bell peppers, jalapeño, and tomatoes until softened.
3. Add the eggs directly into the skillet and scramble gently into the vegetables.
4. When the eggs are halfway set, fold in the crispy tortilla strips.
5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and cover the skillet until the cheese melts.
6. Finish with cilantro, avocado, salsa, or any toppings you love.

Variations

• Add cooked chorizo or bacon for a heartier, smoky version.
• Stir in diced zucchini or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
• Swap cheddar for pepper jack to increase the heat.
• Add a splash of cream to the eggs for extra fluffiness.

Tips

• Fry tortilla strips in bacon fat for richer flavor.
• Add a spoonful of salsa while cooking the eggs to infuse them with restaurant-style depth.
• Don’t overcook the eggs—soft and creamy is ideal for migas.
• Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy tortillas and tender eggs.
