I love this recipe for a traditional Mexican breakfast. Migas, meaning "crumbs" in Spanish, consists of cooking eggs and tortilla chips, along with whatever else you want to toss in. I admit, I was a bit skeptical to how it would turn out the first time I tried it. Breaking crispy tortilla chips into wet eggs seemed weird, but once they cook they make a delicious texture; the tortillas get nice and soft and mix perfectly with the egg. I make this almost every weekend.
Eggs- 5
Tortilla Chips (like Tostitos)- 8-10 broken (mix of big & small pieces is good)
Onion- 1/4 cup minced
Sharp Cheddar- shredded, 1/3 cup
Onion Salt- to taste
Salt & Pepper- to taste
Whisk eggs, salt & pepper in bowl.
Saute onion in sprayed pan. Once onion is cooked (3-4 mins.), add eggs. Immediately add broken tortilla chips. Mix chips around so they are evenly spread out.
Scramble eggs as usual, mixing around the pan, never letting them stick.
Once eggs are almost done- season with onion salt and add cheddar cheese.

You can leave out the onion if you want to make this really easy, but I really think the onion salt (seasoning) & cheddar are essential. Add any chile peppers or salsa if you like.
