Quick n' Easy Migas

To avoid an annoying trip to the grocery store, I always keep my kitchen stocked with basic essentials. Migas is definitely my go to breakfast when I have little to work with.
I was introduced to migas from a friend's mom here in Texas. Migas is a traditional Tex-Mex dish commonly confused with Chilaquiles. Migas are simply fried pieces of corn tortillas with scrambled eggs. What I love about this dish is once you have the main ingredients for the base, you can literally add anything to it- onion, avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, chorizo, bacon... endless mixing options!! This recipe is super simple and just enough for two.
Begin prepping with dicing the serrano pepper.
Cut tortillas into small 1-1 1/2 inch squares.
Heat oil in a medium skillet. Once the oil is warm enough, add the tortilla pieces and stir until the oil is evenly distributed. *I like cooking with a "Spoonula" because it doesn't rip the tortillas.
Cook on medium heat until the tortilla pieces are golden and really crunchy (like tortilla chips). This step is very important because if your pieces are still soft you will have soggy migas.
Add eggs on top of your tortilla chips and stir well.
Add your serrano pepper and salt/pepper. Stir well.
Add cheese, stir well.
Ready to serve, add picante sauce to top things off!
