San Antonio Migas Recipes

VERACRUZ ALL NATURAL MIGAS BREAKFAST TACOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the pico de gallo. Combine the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, salt, and jalapeno if using in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Heat griddle to 350 F or a nonstick frying pan to medium-high heat. Spray griddle or frying pan with cooking spray, and cook tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, or until the tortillas have small brown spots on either side. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Add olive oil to the same pan, still keeping it heated at 350 or medium-high heat. After a few seconds, use your hands to crumble the chips into the hot oil. Toss the chips and oil for about 30 seconds with a spatula. Add 1 cup of pico de gallo to the hot chips and oil. Toss all ingredients together for 30-45 seconds. Add beaten eggs to pan with other hot ingredients. If using a griddle use both a metal spatula and bench scraper to keep eggs contained in the center of the griddle. Cook eggs with chips and pico until cooked through but still soft, avoiding overcooking the eggs or creating brown spots on the surface. Salt and pepper eggs.
• Evenly distribute the pico/tortilla/egg mixture (aka the migas) between the four cooked tortillas. Immediately top each taco with a sprinkle of the grated Monterey Jack cheese so the cheese will melt slightly. Top each taco with a generous slice of avocado. Serve with salsa or any leftover pico de gallo 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.
