Migas or Sundance Eggs is my contribution to "Weekend Breakfast Blogging #9" which was started by Nandita of "Saffron Trail".This month's host is Sig of "live to eat" and the theme is cooking with Eggs. Thanks for hosting Sigma!:)
Eggs: The eggciting and the incredible edible eggs as they say are a great source of protein.For more info about them,click on WIKI.
What's Migas/Migajas?
Migas/Migajas (or Sundance Eggs as it is called sometimes) is a tasty Tex Mex breakfast made popular by Spanish households in Texas,with crisp Tortilla topped with scrambled Eggs and assortment of vegs and served with re-fried beans.They also make this quick breakfast with either torn Tortillas or Tortilla chips and fry up with other ingredients or as dinner during Lent.(Robert Amaya) This recipe is adapted from a cookbook "The Tex Mex cookbook" by Robb Walsh.
Migas:
You Need:Makes two Migas
Two 6" flour Tortillas,1/2 cup Tomato chopped, few bottled Jalapeno rings,1/4 cup chopped white or Green onions,2 Eggs,cilantro, 1/2 tsp Mexican seasoning or cumin seeds pd,1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese.
Crisp the Tortillas on the pan by spraying oil or baking.Make scrambled Eggs with 2 tsp water and salt until done and keep aside.To make Migas, place a Tortilla on a place,spread 1/4th of cheese,and layer half of everything you have set aside ending with cheese on top.
Repeat with the other Tortilla and put them under the grill for few mins until the cheese melts.Serve immediately with chilled glass of juice.You don't need to add Re-fried beans to it in the weekday mornings,do ya?;P
Migas getting grilled!!
Vegetarians: Skip the Eggs and add sauteed bell peppers etc and do the rest as above.Hope you do try!:)
That was one great looking and tasty Migas we have ever had for breakfast.Hope you try them for your family!:))
