How to Make Pioneer Woman's Migas

  1. Whisk together 6 large eggs and 1/2 cup half-and-half in a bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Cut 6 corn or flour tortillas into 1/2-inch strips. Dice the strips into smaller pieces.
  3. In a small skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add tortilla strips and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
  5. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped. Cook until softened and starting to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. (Optional) Add 1-2 chopped green chilies for a little heat. Stir to combine.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
  8. Gently stir the eggs, folding them as they cook, until set but still slightly moist, about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Stir in 1 cup chopped tomatoes and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Heat through.
  10. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite grated cheese (1/2 cup Mexican blend recommended) and green chili taco sauce.
