Ingredients
  
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 5 corn tortillas cut into 1 inch squares
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ½ white onion finely chopped
  • 1 small roma tomato finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeno finely chopped
  • salt and pepper
  • 5 eggs beaten
For the Salsa (will make extra)
  • 3 dried guajillo chile
  • 3 roma tomatoes
  • 1 jalapeno
  • ½ white onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • salt to taste
Recipe Instructions
 
For the Salsa
  • Cut the stems of the guajillo chile off and dump out the seeds. Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add the chile, stirring and flipping occasionally, and cook until it smells toasty about 30 seconds - 1 minute. Remove and set aside.
  • Next, add your white onion, roma tomatoes, and jalapeno to the hot pan. Let sit for a minute to sear and turn over to sear other sides. Once decently charred, add in the garlic and char for a minute.
  • Add the chile back and add 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer for 10 minutes until everything is softened.
  • Remove from heat, reserve the liquid, and carefully add all the ingredients to a blender. Season with salt. Add ¼ cup of the liquid as needed to create a smooth salsa. After blending, taste and add more salt if necessary.
For the Migas
  • Add vegetable oil to your pan over medium high heat. Add cut up tortilla pieces, stirring occasionally until golden with some charred spots, about 6 - 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate with paper towels.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add butter. Add onion, jalapeno, and roma tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add tortilla pieces back to the pan and pour over your beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring slowly in big sweeping motions, until eggs are mostly set, about 2 minutes. Add a few spoonfuls of salsa over the mixture and give a couple more stirs until eggs are done to your preference.
  • Remove from the heat and serve alongside avocado, more salsa, and hot sauce.
