-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon light olive oil

1 medium onion -- finely chopped

1 pound firm tofu

well drained and blotted

then cut into 1/2-inch dice

6 corn tortillas -- torn

OR cut into approximately 1-inch pieces

16 ounces canned diced tomatoes -- lightly drained

3/4 cup grated Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese

(or substitute cheddar-style soy cheese) -- optional

 

Serves: 6

 

This tasty dish, brimming with lively southwestern flavors, is based on a

traditional southwestern egg dish. It's known as migas, a word that

literally means " crumbs " in Spanish, in this case referring to bits of

tortilla. In the original recipe, the tortilla pieces are scrambled with

eggs; this version replaces eggs with tofu.

 

Heat the oil in an extra-wide skillet. Saute the onion over medium heat

until lightly golden.

 

Add the tortillas, tomatoes, chilies, and cumin. Stir together

gently. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.

 

If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top, then cook, covered for another 2

to 3 minutes, or until it has melted. Remove from the heat and serve.
