Mighty Migas
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 corn tortillas, cut into bite-sized pieces
salt and pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1 jalepeno, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
handful of cilantro, chopped
2 tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
12 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon hot sauce, or to taste
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
1 avocado, diced and sprinkled with lime juice
Instructions:
Yield: 4 servings
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the chopped tortillas, and cook until they start to brown. Season with salt.
Add the onion, jalepeno, garlic and cilantro. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add in the tomatoes.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and scramble to your desired doneness. Top with the cheese and allow to melt slightly. Serve topped with the avocado.
