MIGAS BREAKFAST TACOS

Tortilla chips in tacos may seem like overkill, but they're not. Set into scrambled eggs that are loaded with onions and poblanos, they soften and enrich the mix while keeping some crispiness. A slice of avocado on top - along with melted cheese - adds a nice creaminess to the mix. These tacos work well with red or green salsa, so use your favorite. While these would impress at a weekend brunch, they also come together quickly on weekday mornings, and can be wrapped in foil to be eaten out of hand.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large eggs
Kosher salt
6 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup tortilla chips, broken if very large
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup diced, seeded poblano pepper
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated (3/4 cup)
1/2 avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced
Salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  • Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Put 3 tortillas in it and turn them until warm and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes. Stack on foil and wrap. Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas, adding them to the same stack and wrapping to keep warm and soft.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the oil and swirl to coat, then add the chips. Cook, stirring, until sizzling and browned in spots, about 30 seconds. Add the onion, poblano and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the edges of the onion are just translucent but the vegetables are still crisp, about 2 minutes.
  • Drizzle the egg over the chips and vegetables. Let stand for 15 seconds until just starting to set, then stir rapidly to scramble until just set but still wet, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle the cilantro on top.
  • Remove from the heat and immediately divide among the warmed tortillas. Sprinkle with the cheese and top with the avocado and salsa. Serve immediately or wrap each taco in foil to eat out of hand.

MIGAS BREAKFAST TACOS



Migas Breakfast Tacos image

What's better than breakfast tacos? How about breakfast tacos with some extra crunch in them? Migas ("crumbs" in Spanish) refers to the crumbled bits of tortilla chips mixed in with the eggs and vegetables. But don't expect any crumbs left when you serve this recipe.

Provided by Jaymee Sire

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup chopped tomato
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cooking oil, such as safflower
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 small jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup crushed tortilla chips (bite-sized pieces)
1/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese, optional
Four 6-inch corn or flour tortillas
Chopped cilantro and scallions, sliced avocado, and salsa, for topping, optional

Steps:

  • Place the tomato in a colander and season with salt. Set aside and let drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the onion and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, if you prefer them slightly cooked, and cook for 30 seconds. Drain the vegetable mixture in the colander and set aside. Wipe out the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper--but do not beat yet. Add the butter to the skillet; while it starts to melt, beat the eggs until foamy and add to the skillet just before the butter melts completely. Cook, stirring slowly with a silicone spatula, until curds start to form.
  • While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas on each side in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the tortilla chips and vegetable mixture to the eggs and continue to cook until the eggs are almost done. Sprinkle with cheese and remove from the heat. (The eggs will continue to cook off the heat.)
  • Once the eggs are done to your liking, spoon them onto the warmed tortillas and garnish with your desired toppings. Serve immediately!

Finally, a use for the crumbs in the bottom of that bag of tortilla chips! I make a double batch of these over the weekend, wrap them in foil, stick them in a freezer bag, and freeze them. Then I micro-bake them in the morning before work during the week.
