When we were first married, we were well, let's say 'just scraping by'. One of the "go to" meals we put on the table was migas. You can find many recipes on line for this dish using fancy ingredients like chorizo and cheese, but traditionally, Mexican households would use tortillas to stretch the eggs to go around to a table full of hungry kids. It is also the way to use tortillas that are not fresh enough for tacos. Our family recipe is pretty simple:
You will need:
six tortillas - torn into 1 inch pieces
three eggs
2 Tbsp.oil
salt
skillet
* Heat oil in skillet until hot enough to fry tortilla pieces. Add tortillas to oil, stirring until crispy, (some will be less crunchy than others). Add eggs one at a time cracking directly into the tortillas. Stir them around coating the tortillas, cooking the eggs right onto the tortillas. Cook until eggs are done. Salt to taste, you can serve with salsa, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese be creative if you wish. This is a good brunch dish, or even dinner when the budget is tight. Goes well with Refried beans.
