Migas con Chorizo

Migas con Chorizo

Easy, inexpensive, delicious breakfast or brunch item that smells great on a Sunday morning. Shown to me by a former Mexican neighbor of mine. I usually make it vegetarian for myself, but with guests, I add a meat, usually sausage or chorizo. Delicious! Always a favorite and a classic in Mexico and Texas!

    Very good. I didn’t measure anything, just eyeballed it and it was delicious. Next time instead of green bell pepper I will use a serrano chile pepper. Thanks for the recipe.

    One of my favorite breakfasts. This is a very good recipe, and very similar to my own recipe. Sometimes I use tortilla chips and they work fine. When I want to go all out, I use homemade corn tortillas (usually leftover from the day before). I fry them until the edges are crispy and the rest is slightly softer. I remove them from the oil to drain on paper towels, then I cook my chorizo and drain it on paper towels. Then I cook my onion and bell pepper ?? (or fresh poblanos from my garden) in the grease left in the skillet from the chorizo. When the onions and peppers have cooked for 3-5 minutes, I add the chorizo back to the skillet, then the scrambled eggs and cook until the eggs are maybe 2/3rds done. That’s when I add the tortilla chips. I don’t add them sooner because I like them to be a little bit crispy. I serve the migas on a plate and add diced tomatoes and hot peppers to the top. I love cheese, but not with migas.
