How to Make Authentic Mexican Migas
Prepare the Migas:
Prepare the Tortillas:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla pieces and cook, stirring frequently, until they are crispy and golden brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tortillas from the skillet and set them aside.
Sauté Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and green chilies, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
Scramble the Eggs:
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny.
Combine Ingredients:
Add the crispy tortilla pieces back into the skillet and stir to combine with the eggs and vegetables. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and cook until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.
Prepare Additional Components:
While the migas are cooking, warm up the black beans and Mexican rice or quinoa.
Assemble:
Take a large bowl and start with a base layer of cooked Mexican rice or quinoa.
Add a portion of the cooked black beans on one side of the bowl.
Add Migas:
Scoop a generous portion of the prepared migas and place it in the center of the bowl.
Top with Fresh Ingredients:
Add slices of avocado on top or to the side of the migas.
Spoon some salsa or pico de gallo over the migas for extra flavor.
Add a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Garnish:
Garnish with additional fresh cilantro and a lime wedge on the side for squeezing.
Serve:
Serve immediately while everything is hot.
Tips:
When using fresh green chilies, roast them first for added flavor. To do this, place the chilies under a broiler or over a gas flame until the skin is charred, then peel, seed, and dice them.
If you prefer a spicier dish, you can mix green chilies with a small amount of jalapeños.
Adjust the other vegetables and toppings to your taste preferences.
Enjoy your Mexican migas breakfast with green chilies and tortilla chips!
