Crispy Breakfast Migas

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Breakfast Migas.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding enough oil to create a depth of about one inch.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is sizzling and ready, carefully add the tortilla pieces in small batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.

3. Step 3

   Fry them for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and become crispy.

4. Step 4

   Use a slotted spoon to lift the chips out and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

5. Step 5

   Sprinkle them with salt to your liking, and continue frying the remaining tortilla pieces, saving the delicious frying oil for later.

6. Step 6

   Next, grab a flat griddle or comal and toast the guajillo chiles for about 20 seconds on each side until they release a wonderful aroma.

7. Step 7

   In a saucepan, combine the toasted chiles, ripe tomatoes, and garlic, covering them with hot water.

8. Step 8

   Let this simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the chiles are softened and the tomatoes are perfectly cooked.

9. Step 9

   Don’t forget to reserve half a cup of that flavorful cooking liquid! Now it’s time to blend everything together.

10. Step 10

    In a blender, combine the softened chiles, tomatoes, garlic, onion, a teaspoon of salt, oregano, cumin, pepper, and the reserved cooking liquid.

11. Step 11

    Blend until you achieve a smooth and velvety sauce, then strain it to remove any solids for a silky finish.

12. Step 12

    In a clean saucepan, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

13. Step 13

    Once it’s hot, pour in your strained sauce and let it simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, allowing it to thicken beautifully.

14. Step 14

    Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed; this is your chance to make it just right! Now, let’s bring it all together.

15. Step 15

    In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of the reserved frying oil over medium heat.

    Then, pour in the eggs and gently stir as they begin to set.

18. Step 18

    Add the salsa and fold it into the egg mixture, ensuring everything is well combined and the eggs are fully cooked, which should take about 2 minutes.

19. Step 19
