Ingredients

• 6 pieces Corn tortillas
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 6 pieces Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 small, diced Onion
• 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
• 1 small, diced (optional) Jalapeño
• 1 medium, diced Tomato
• 0.5 cups, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 cut into wedges Lime

Directions

Step 1

Cut the corn tortillas into small strips (about 1 inch wide by 2 inches long).

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tortilla strips in batches and fry until crispy and golden, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove the strips from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 4

Using the same skillet, remove excess oil, leaving about 1-2 teaspoons. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using). Sauté over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the diced tomato to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the whisked eggs into the empty space. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir and scramble them using a spatula.

Step 7

Once the eggs are slightly set, gently mix them with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 8

Add the crispy tortilla strips back into the skillet and toss gently to combine everything.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the migas with fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve the migas hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over each serving, and enjoy!
