When I saw that Nigella had basically done a version of migas, I knew it was high time I did one.
(This was before we found out about the cocaine but after her now ex-husband choked her in a public restaurant in broad daylight. She's living the dream.)
Anyway, migas literally means "crumbs", but in the kitchen it means a dish of scrambled eggs and tortilla chips.
That's right: tortilla chips for breakfast.
This dish is pretty simple, and there are many variations, depending on what you have lying around.
Some people fry the tortilla chips first, but I only recommend this if your tortilla chips are homemade. Store-bought ones disintegrate too easily.
I didn't have an onion so I used minced garlic, but as a rule chopped onion is the way to go.
And I had some leftover salsa verde.
I started by heating some oil in a pan and sweating the garlic (use onion if you've got it. This is also where you'd fry your homemade tortilla chips. Remove them once they start to brown.)
Then I tipped in my salsa and fried it until it reduced and most of the water had cooked off. This is kind of like making salsa de huevos.
Then I added the eggs and a couple handfuls of crumbled tortilla chips and scrambled it all up.
¡Y provecho!
I served it with a few more tortilla chips, some sour cream, and chopped coriander or cilantro.
