Ingredients

• 4 pieces corn tortillas
• 6 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
• 0.5 medium white onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 pieces lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting the corn tortillas into small 1-inch squares or strips.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tortilla pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become crispy and golden brown. Remove the tortilla pieces from the skillet and set aside 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

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the diced onion and jalapeño, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomato and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the tomato to soften slightly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently with a spatula to combine with the vegetables.

Step 7

Once the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny, add the crispy tortilla pieces back into the skillet and gently fold them into the eggs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor. Enjoy your homemade migas with fresh tortillas!
