Ingredients

6 large eggs
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup diced yellow onion (40 grams)
3/4 cup diced bell pepper (90 grams)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 heaping cup roughly crumbled/broken tortilla chips (1 ounce)
1/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese (1 ounce - I used freshly grated)
salt and pepper, to taste
for topping - avocado, salsa, cilantro, lime juice, sliced jalapeno, pico de gallo…
for serving - corn tortillas, black beans…

Instructions

Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Make migas. Heat a medium-large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and let it get hot. Add onion, diced peppers, garlic, salt, and pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened, stirring occasionally. Pour in your egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit without stirring for about 5-10 seconds. Then, stir/move eggs with a spatula by pulling your spatula across the bottom of your pan. Continue to fold/move eggs for 1-2 minutes, until eggs are about 3/4 the way cooked through (they should still be a little wet). Sprinkle cheese and crushed tortilla chips, mix to combine with eggs, and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until eggs and chips are cooked to your desired consistency.
Enjoy! Serve with toppings and your favorite sides.
