Migas: bacon, egg, and heaven
I made this tonight, having read about it at Centrs' journal, and it was out of this world.
6 strips of bacon
6 eggs
1 small onion
4 corn tortillas
salt
pepper
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar
cook the bacon, saving the drippings. set the bacon aside on a paper towel to drain. slice the onion into rings. cut the corn tortillas into strips. cook the onions and tortilla strips in the bacon grease until the onions start to caramelize. while that is cooking, whisk the eggs with a little water or milk with salt and pepper to taste. remove the tortillas and onions from the bacon grease and put on paper towel to drain. drain most of the remaining bacon grease from the pan. pour the eggs into the pan and start to scramble. when the eggs are about halfway done, mix back in the tortilla strips and onions. cook until the eggs are done. turn the heat down to low, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and use the time it takes to melt to set the table.
serve with the bacon and warm tortillas if you like. some recipes call for adding salsa to the eggs while cooking, but since tastes vary, i just let each person put the kind of salsa they like on top. Serves 2.
