Ingredients

  • 8 small Corn Tortillas
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 0.5 medium Onion
  • 1 small Jalapeño (optional)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro
  • 4 tbsp Salsa

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 8 small Corn Tortillas into 1/2-inch strips.
  2. 2Dice the 0.5 medium Onion and the 1 small Jalapeño (if using).
  3. 3Heat the 2 tbsp Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat (about 350°F/175°C). Add the diced onion and jalapeño and cook, stirring often, until they are softened and the onion looks translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. 4Add the tortilla strips to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. The tortilla strips should make a slight crackling sound when they are crisp.
  5. 5Season the tortilla strips with the 0.5 tsp Salt and 0.25 tsp Black Pepper.
  6. 6While the migas are cooking, fry the 4 large Eggs in a separate non-stick pan over medium heat (about 350°F/175°C) until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference, about 2-4 minutes per egg.
  7. 7Divide the migas among 4 plates. Top each serving with one fried egg. Garnish with the 2 tbsp Cilantro and the 4 tbsp Salsa.
