How to Make Migas

  1. Crack 6 large eggs into a bowl and whisk until light and frothy.
  2. In a large non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color) and 1/4 cup chopped green onions. Sauté for 5 minutes, until slightly softened.
  3. While the vegetables are sautéing, gently toss 1 1/2 cups of tortilla chips into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are lightly coated.
  4. Stir in 10 ounces of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained) and 1-2 tablespoons of chopped fresh green chilies (depending on your spice preference).
  5. Simmer the Rotel mixture for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Pour the egg and tortilla chip mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are almost set but still slightly moist.
  7. Reduce heat to low, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred Mexican blend) over the Migas. Cover the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the eggs are fully cooked through.
