Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons skim milk can substitute with almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1/2 small yellow onion chopped fine
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro minced

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Begin by chopping all your vegetables: the onion, jalapeño, and red bell pepper. Cut the corn tortillas into 2" strips and set everything aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of skim milk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, jalapeño, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  4. Once the vegetables are ready, add the corn tortilla strips to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tortillas are slightly crispy and golden.
  5. Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetable and tortilla mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Allow the eggs to sit for a few moments before gently stirring. Cook until the eggs are just set, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of low-fat cheese on top and fold gently to incorporate. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh cilantro for garnish.
  7. Spoon the migas onto plates and serve hot. They pair wonderfully with avocado slices or a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side.

Notes

  • Leftover migas can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm them in a skillet to retain texture.
  • Feel free to add your favorite vegetables for a personalized touch.
  • Use fresh tortillas for the best crispiness.
  • This dish is great for meal prep; just divide into containers!
