Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Migas

[heart_this] · Feb 27, 2010 · 31 Comments

Migas

I had a bunch of corn tortillas left over from taco night and I knew just what I wanted to do with them. I remembered bookmarking several Texmex style breakfasts that called for day old corn tortillas over the last while and when I searched for them migas was the first to come up with this recipe from The Pioneer Woman Cooks . Migas translates to crumbs and is a dish that consists of scrambled eggs, corn tortillas, onions, peppers, tomatoes and some cheese. What I like most about this recipe is all of the fresh ingredients and overall it is pretty healthy, other than the fried tortillas, which you could easily bake. Migas is pretty easy to make even if it does take a bit longer than your average breakfast which makes it perfect for weekends. The migas turned out really well! I liked the way the sauteed vegetables worked in the scrambled eggs and I was a bit surprised that the tortillas were still nice and crispy by the time I finished. This is a great way to use up those leftover tortillas! Since I am making breakfast for one, I kept the extra sauteed vegetables in one container and the fried tortillas in another. This way, during the week I can quickly heat the vegetables, add the eggs and tortillas and have some quick and tasty breakfasts.

    Wow – you made these look awesome! I'm from Texas so we see Migas at many restaurants, but not very many are done as well as yours. These are perfect – are you maybe a Texan at heart?

    I currently live in Mexico, in a bordering city with Texas, and i follow your blog religiously. I was SUPER excited to see you posted this recipee, ESPECIALLY since I had this for bfast today!!! However the only veggies I mixed were onions, tomato and serrano peppers (a la mexicana).

    And to be extra healthy, you can use cooking spray to sautee the tortillas and vegetables. =)

    Congrats on your blog!!
