Mexico

Mexico (#17) Migas (Eggs and Tortillas)

Migas in Spanish means "crumbs".  According to Wikipedia, it originated in Spain and  Portugal and is often found on menus for lunch and dinner.  In Mexican kitchens it's typically eaten for breakfast.  There are substantial differences in the Spanish version, specifically leftover bread or tortas are used versus using corn tortillas for the Mexican version.  This was so easy, in less than 15 minutes breakfast was on the table.  I cut three tortillas into one inch squares (approximately) and fried them in a little oil until they were crispy.  In a separate pan I cooked 1/2 chili serrano (finely chopped), 1/4 onion and one Roma tomato (both in a large dice), in a little oil until everything was slightly softened.   I added two whisked eggs to the tortillas and cooked a minute or so until they were fully cooked, then added the chili mixture and tossed it all together.  I sprinkled a little cotija cheese and Tapatio sauce on top for an authentic Mexican breakfast.
