Description

Instead of having the same old boring eggs and bacon, shake it up a bit with this traditional Mexican-style breakfast favorite of migas con huevo.

Ingredients

5 large eggs
6 (6 inch) corn tortillas, cut into bite-sized strips
1 large tomato, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 medium fresh jalapeno peppers, chopped
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
nonstick cooking spray (such as Pam®)
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Beat eggs in a bowl until frothy. Add tortilla strips and let soak a few minutes.
2 Add tomato, onion, jalapeno peppers, and a bit of Cheddar cheese to the egg mixture.
3 Spray a skillet with nonstick spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook and stir to brown lightly, about 1 minute. Pour in egg mixture; cook and stir until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4 Reduce heat to low and sprinkle remaining Cheddar over top. Cover and cook until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 more minutes.
