Tex-Mex Migas
Tex-Mex Migas is Tex Mex home cooking, eaten at breakfast. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 6 corn tortillas
- 1 tomato
- 1 jalapeno
- 1/2 onion
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar
- 3 tbsp neutral oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup salsa
How to cook it
- Cut the corn tortillas into small squares and fry in the hot oil until crisp and golden, then lift out most of them, leaving a little oil in the pan.
- Add the onion, jalapeno, and tomato and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Beat the eggs with the salt, return the crisp tortilla pieces to the pan, and pour in the eggs.
- Scramble gently until the eggs are just set and the tortillas are woven throughout, about 3 minutes.
- Fold in the cheddar until melted and serve with salsa.
