Migas Eggs A La Mike Marks Recipes

MIGAS RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut the corn tortillas into small squares, about 1½ in. wide. You can use a knife or a pair of kitchen scissors to cut them.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Once it is hot, place the tortilla pieces in the oil and fry them until they are golden brown. Make sure to use a frying pan that is large enough, in order to not overcrowd the pan. Stir and turn the tortilla pieces as needed until they acquire a golden-brown color. This step will take about 6 minutes.
• Return the frying pan to the stove and place it over medium heat. Add the chopped white onion and lightly fry it for a few seconds, then stir in the chopped serrano pepper. Keep cooking for about 2 minutes.
• Add the chopped tomato and cook for about 3 more minutes, then add the eggs. Let the eggs start to cook without stirring them yet.
• Once the egg whites start to look cooked around the edges, gently stir the eggs. Once you see the egg yolks start to cook, stir in the tortilla chips, season with salt, and gently mix them together with the eggs. When the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the frying pan from the heat. The tortillas should still be crispy by the time you serve your migas. Do not wait until the eggs are cooked to add the tortilla chips. Remember that the eggs will keep cooking even after you remove the frying pan from the heat.

Steps:

• Cut the 2 corn tortillas into 1-inch pieces (about 1 cup). Place the oil in a Dutch oven and fry the tortilla pieces over medium-to-high heat for about 3 minutes, until the tortillas change color and begin to get crisp. Add the chopped onion, the sliced mushrooms and the jalapeno pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes, then lower the heat to medium.
• Meanwhile, beat the eggs and add to them the salt, pepper and cumin powder. Pour into the Dutch oven and stir until the egg mixture is setting on the bottom and almost ready to set on top but is still quite wet. Remove from the heat. (Remember that it will continue cooking in its own residual heat.) Sprinkle the cheese over the surface of the eggs, arrange wedges of tomato on top and cover with the lid. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes, then sprinkle with the cilantro and spoon into warm tortillas. To eat, wrap the tortillas around the filling.
