Serves 2

This Tex-Mex migas recipe is one of my favorite breakfasts! I scramble eggs with crushed tortilla chips, fresh veggies, and melty cheese. Serve with tortillas and avocado so you can assemble tacos as you eat!

Ingredients

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup diced white onion
2 roma tomatoes, diced
½ to 1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed and diced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
5 large eggs, beaten
¼ cup crumbled tortilla chips
½ cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

For Serving

4 tortillas, warmed
1 avocado, sliced
Lime wedges
Homemade Salsa or Tomatillo Salsa

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, tomato, jalapeño, garlic, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring, or until softened. Add the eggs and crumbled chips and stir to scramble. Stir in the cheese and remove from the heat. Season to taste.
Divide the migas between two plates and sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with the tortillas, avocado slices, lime wedges, and salsa.
