Ingredients

• 4 corn tortillas
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups onion, finely diced
• 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
• 0.5 cups tomato, diced
• 0.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 4 flour or corn taco-sized tortillas

Directions

Step 1

Cut 2 of the corn tortillas into 1-inch strips or small squares.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tortilla strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp and golden brown. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and jalapeño. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the diced tomato and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring gently.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula as the eggs begin to set.

Step 7

When the eggs are about halfway cooked, fold in the crisp tortilla strips and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until the eggs are fully set but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Warm the taco tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave, then divide the migas mixture evenly among them.

Step 9

Top each taco with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.
