Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

6 corn tortillas

cut into 1-inch squares

1 tablespoon canola or olive oil

1 small onion -- minced

1 clove garlic -- minced

1 small green bell pepper -- diced

2 medium ripe tomatoes -- diced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 large eggs -- well beaten

2 tablespoons low-fat milk

 

4 to 6 servings

 

Migas literally means " crumbs " in Spanish. This quick; tasty

Southwestern standard was developed as a way to use bits of stale

leftover tortillas.

 

Heat a large skillet. Toast the tortilla pieces over medium-high

heat, stirring often, until they are dry and crisp. Transfer them to

a plate.

 

Heat the oil in the same skillet. Add the onion and garlic and saute

over medium-low heat until the onion is translucent. Add the bell

pepper and continue to saute until the onion is golden. Add the

tomatoes and saute just until they have softened a bit. Stir in the

tortilla pieces, add the cumin and some salt and pepper to taste.

Turn the heat up so that the skillet becomes very hot. Beat the eggs

with the milk and pour into the skillet. Scramble until the eggs are

set. Serve at once.

 

There is a best way of doing everything, even if it be to boil an

egg. -Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
