Recipes

why make this recipe

Migas with Chorizo is a tasty and filling dish that is perfect for breakfast or brunch. The combination of crispy corn tortillas, spicy chorizo, and fluffy scrambled eggs creates a satisfying meal. It is easy to make, takes little time, and is packed with flavor. Plus, it’s a great way to use up leftover tortillas!

how to make Migas with Chorizo

Ingredients:

8 oz. fresh chorizo, casings removed
1 tbsp. oil
2 corn tortillas, torn or cut into strips
4 eggs, well beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, and sour cream or crumbled queso, for garnish

Directions:

Cook chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into pieces. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon, keeping the oil in the skillet.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet (you want about 2 tablespoons total in the skillet) and add the tortilla strips. Cook without stirring until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet. Add the beaten eggs and season them with salt and pepper. As the eggs begin to set, use a heatproof spatula to scrape the mixture into the center of the pan.
Just before the eggs are fully cooked, take the pan off the heat.
Divide the mixture among 4 plates and garnish with sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, and either sour cream or crumbled queso. Serve immediately.

how to serve Migas with Chorizo

Serve Migas with Chorizo hot with your favorite garnishes. A side of fresh fruit or a light salad works well too. Enjoy it with a warm tortilla or a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.

how to store Migas with Chorizo

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm your Migas in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. You can add a splash of water to keep it moist.

tips to make Migas with Chorizo

Use fresh chorizo for the best flavor, but you can also use pre-cooked chorizo to save time.
Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra nutrition.
Adjust the number of eggs based on how many servings you need.
For a spicy kick, add some chopped jalapeños to the mixture.

variation

You could consider using different types of protein, like bacon or sausage. You can also use flour tortillas instead of corn if you prefer. Adding different cheeses can create a unique flavor.
