Migas Taco
This recipe creates a quick Migas-style taco featuring scrambled eggs mixed with sauteed vegetables and tortilla chips, combined with melted cheese, and served in a warm flour tortilla, optionally topped with salsa.
Equipment
- 1 skillet Medium size
- 1 Knife
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
Main
- 1 small handful tortilla chips lightly crushed
- 1 tablespoon jalapenos chopped
- 1/8 cup tomatoes diced
- 1/8 cup onion diced
- 1/2 cup Mexican-blend cheese grated
- 1 egg
- 1 soft flour tortilla
- Salsa optional
Instructions
- Put the soft tortilla in a skillet over low to medium heat to warm throughout the process. Mix the chips, jalapenos, tomatoes, and onions and saute over medium heat until the onions are mostly translucent (don't let the chips burn). On the other side of the skillet, add the cheese and heat until melted, while cooking the rest of the dish. Add the egg to the vegetables, scramble together and heat until the egg is cooked. Scoop off the egg mixture and place on top of the cheese. Take off the cheese and egg and place on the warmed soft tortilla. Top with salsa, if desired.
Notes
1. Be mindful of cooking the tortilla chips with the vegetables; this can make them soggy quickly. For a crisper texture, consider adding them towards the end of the vegetable sauté or even directly to the finished egg mixture just before folding. 2. The recipe describes cooking components on 'other sides' of the skillet simultaneously. This requires careful heat management; ensure the skillet is large enough to keep components separated and monitor temperatures closely to prevent burning, especially the cheese. 3. Season the vegetable and egg mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper or a dash of cumin or chili powder for enhanced flavor before scrambling the egg.
