Texas Migas Recipes

Steps:

• Grease a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook until chorizo begins to get crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Add torn tortillas and cook until crispy and golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add onion, jalapeno, and garlic; cook until vegetables start to get tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Pour in eggs and hot sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are close to your desired doneness, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes, avocado, lime juice, and Cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until eggs are scrambled to your desired doneness. Portion migas into serving bowls and top each with a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Cut the tortillas into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Heat the vegetable oil in a wide skillet set over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in small batches, lay the tortilla strips in the oil and fry, turning occasionally, for about 1 minute. Look for the strips to become golden brown and crunchy. Remove the strips from the oil and let drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Set aside.
• In a medium sauté pan set over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and bell pepper, and sauté until the onion is translucent and the pepper starts to soften, about 8 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the eggs, then add the tomatoes, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Pour the egg mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are just set in the center. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the jalapeños, cheese, and fried tortilla strips evenly over the top. Return the casserole to the oven and continue to cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
