Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 soft corn tortillas
2 fresh medium tomatoes seeded and chopped
3 green onions chopped
1 jalapeño pepper seeded and chopped
8 eggs beaten
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet.
Roll the tortillas and slice them into strips. Fry in hot oil until crisp, then remove and drain on paper towels.
To the skillet, add tomatoes, green onions, and jalapeño. Fry for 2 minutes.
Return the tortilla strips to the pan. Pour in the beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
Scramble the eggs with a wooden spoon, removing the skillet from heat as they start to set. Continue stirring until they reach your desired consistency.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro.

Notes

Tortilla Tips: To achieve extra crispiness, use slightly stale tortillas.
Spice Level: Adjust the jalapeño quantity to match your preferred level of spiciness. You can also experiment with different peppers like Serrano for unique flavor variations.
Egg Cooking: For creamy scrambled eggs, cook them on low heat and keep stirring continuously. Remove them from heat while they're slightly runny, as they will continue to cook in the residual heat.
Serving Suggestion: Create a complete meal by serving Migas with refried beans, sliced avocado, or warm tortillas on the side.
Storage: If you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, do so gently to avoid overcooking the eggs.
Variations: Don't hesitate to enhance the flavors and textures by adding cooked chorizo, diced bell peppers, or cheese to your Migas. It's an opportunity to get creative and tailor the dish to your taste.
