Spicy Mexican Migas
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 pound Mexican raw chorizo, casings removed
  • 5 (6 inch) corn tortillas, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, or more to taste
  • 8 eggs, lightly whisked
  • hot sauce to taste
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 cup grated smoked Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
1
Preheat your cooking surface by applying a generous amount of olive oil to a large skillet and placing it over medium-high heat.
2
Once the skillet is hot, add sliced chorizo and cook until it starts to develop a satisfying crunch, approximately 5-6 minutes.
3
Next, add torn tortilla strips to the skillet and continue cooking until they turn golden brown and crispy, taking around 7-8 minutes.
4
Now, introduce diced onion, sliced jalapeno peppers, and minced garlic into the skillet. Cook until these vegetables begin to soften and become tender, about 5-6 minutes.
5
Add eggs and a splash of hot sauce to the skillet. Stir occasionally as you cook, allowing the eggs to reach your preferred level of doneness, roughly 5 minutes.
6
Season your migas with salt and pepper to taste.
7
Introduce diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and shredded Cheddar cheese into the skillet. Continue cooking until your eggs are fully scrambled to your liking.
8
Divide the migas into individual serving bowls and top each portion with a dollop of sour cream.
