Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 corn tortillas cut into strips or squares
  • 1 jalapeno pepper diced
  • 1 small red bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion white or yellow, diced
  • 4-5 eggs lightly scrambled
  • 1 medium tomato diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup shredded pepperjack or Monterrey Jack cheese
  • For Serving: spicy chili flakes extra sliced peppers, avocado, hot sauce

Notes

Heat Factor: Mild-Medium. You can up the heat by adding extra jalapeno peppers, and using a spicy hot sauce to finish. Reduce the heat by coring the jalapenos before cooking, or using bell peppers instead.

Make it a Bigger Meal. Migas is a great dish on its own, but as a variation, consider adding spicy Mexican chorizo for some added kick and flavor. You can even add in other crumbled sausage, ground chicken or refried beans to make it more of a meal.
