Migas, large family style

September 2, 2006 by Mary Owlhaven

Beat together:

12 eggs
1/4 c. water

Set aside.

Then saute on medium:

2 T. butter

4 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped green or red pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 fresh jalapeño, minced

 

Add two chopped tomatoes to other vegetables and cook for several minutes until some of the liquid steams off.  Once mixture is a little less watery, add beaten egg mixture.  Cook until eggs are cooked through. In the last minute or so of cooking, while eggs are still shiny and slightly liquid, add 2 cups of broken-up tortilla chips and 1 T. minced cilantro (optional)

Serve the migas immediately with warm flour tortillas and more salsa or picanté sauce.

  • About Me

    I'm Mary, wife to John, and mom to 10 kids ages 3-20. Six of them were adopted, from Ethiopia and Korea. I spend my days applying Bandaids, reminding kids to use their inside voices, persuading kids fractions are useful, cooking spicy ethnic food, and snapping gig after gig of pictures. Very late at night, I write about it all.
