Mexican-Style Scrambled Eggs image

In traditional Mexican cooking, this dish is known as Migas. Typically consisting of eggs, day-old tortillas, onions, garlic, and chiles, it's an inexpensive and easy way to feed a crowd. Make sure to use baked rather than fried tortilla chips, because they are far less greasy.

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup(s) baked tortilla chips, broken into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/8 teaspoon(s) pepper
2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped medium
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jallapeno, stemmed, seeded, minced
2 ounce(s) pepper jack cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the eggs, tortilla chips, salt, and pepper.
  • Melt the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the pan. Add the onion, red pepper, garlic, and jalapeno and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and cook while gently pushing, lifting, and folding them from one side of the pan to the other until they are nicely clumped, shiny, and wet, about 2 minutes.
  • Quickly fold in the cheese and remove the mixture from the pan.
