I like my migas with a lot of chips!!!  You may want to use 1/2 the chips, it’s up to you.

These migas are super easy to make, delicious and the spice level is completely adjustable for your tolerance.  I like mine with some ay yi yi yi!!!

While the onions and jalapenos are cooking mix your eggs, cheese and salsa together in a bowl or large measuring cup; when the onions and jalapenos are ready, slowly pour the egg mixture all around the pan to cover eggs going in

allow the eggs to firm up a bit and then using a wooden spoon or spatula gently move them around to distribute the eggs.  This is the time you’re going to top the eggs with the broken corn tortilla chipstop with chips- migas Like I said, I like a LOT of tortilla chips in my Migas

Gently, using your spoon/spatula/spoonula, incorporate the eggs and the chips together and let it cook until the eggs reach the firmness that you desire!

Spoon into a dish and top with a dash more salsa and even some cilantro if you like it!

Recipe: Migas

Summary: Delicious Hearty Eggs with jalapenos, cheese, onions, salsa and corn tortilla chips

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1/3 C chopped jalapenos (I use nacho sliced and then chop them, so much easier. You CAN use fresh, they’re awesome but, this recipe is about the easy)
  • 1 C (roughly a good handful) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 C salsa (plus additional for topping)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • handful of corn tortilla chips, broken

Instructions

  1. dice the onions and jalapenos and grate the cheese
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and then add in the onions and jalapenos.
  3. While the onions and jalapenos cook; crack the eggs and whisk them together with the salsa and cheese.
  4. When the jalapenos and onions have reached the point where they’re soft and fragrant and you want to scoop them up with a chip and devour them…
  5. Pour in the eggs and make sure you get all the cheese and salsa in, too.
  6. Let the egg mixture firm up a bit and then top with your broken chips, softly and gently use a spoon to push the mixture around to make sure that everything gets cooked. 7. Serve topped with a bit more salsa. You can garnish with more jalapenos, cilantro and even fresh diced tomatoes.

Variations

* you could use fresh onions, jalapenos, tomatoes and cilantro instead of salsa. * Just saute all of those together and then add in the eggs. * You can use corn tortillas instead of corn tortilla chips, I just prefer corn tortilla chips

How To Roast Peppers

A couple of weeks ago I posted this Roasted Green Chilies Stew recipe.

You could say that today’s Mouthwatering Monday is a follow up to that.

This is a step by step How to Roast Peppers Mouthwatering Monday.

Roasting peppers is crazy easy and the smell in your house, y’all will not believe it.  Your house is going to smell AMAZING!!!!

these are anaheim and poblano

1.  Wash your peppers and place them on a foil lined (ignore the lack of foil) baking sheet and place them in your oven on broil for about 6 to 10 minutes (or until blistering and well roasted and blackened) per side.  (unless you’re lucky enough to have a gas stove and then you, you lucky duck.. can roast them and blister and blacken them over your awesome flame) If the weather allows, you can also roast your peppers on your outdoor grill.

2.  Remove them from the oven or flame and place them in a zip-lock bag and allow them to “sweat” for about 15 minutes

3.  Remove the peppers from the bag.

4.  Put a small slit in the skin, slide your finger under the skin and it will just peel away from the pepper.  Discard the skin and add the roasted pepper yumminess to your favorite recipe ;-)

Jalapeno Cornbread Pudding

Mouthwatering Jalapeno Corn Pudding

This is one of my MUST haves for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.  It is delicious, rich, savory, creamy, a hint of spicy and absolutely the best take on a cornbread stuffing/pudding that I’ve ever had. This dish is the epitome of Tonguegasmic. One bite and you’ll be thanking me and your friends and family will be so enamored and impressed with your culinary skills that they’ll even offer to do the dishes while you kick back with your bottle glass of wine.

Since Thanksgiving is coming quickly and I know y’all are getting your shopping lists and elastic waist pants together, I had to share it with you.

Jalapeno Cornbread Pudding

  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 C diced yellow onions
  • 1 1/2 C fresh kernels of corn (about 3 to 4 ears)
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 C heavy whipping cream
  • 4 C cornbread, crumbled
  • 8 oz Jalapeno Jack cheese, shredded and divided (1 C and 1 C) You can add more if you’re like me and love melty cheesey goodness.
  • dash of salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 to 2 fresh jalapenos, seeded and thinly sliced*
  • 2 to 3 roasted red peppers, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

  1. Grease and 8 inch square pan.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions and corn, saute until onions are translucent. Remove from heat. Stir in eggs, cream, cornbread and 1 C cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour pudding into pan. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and top with jalapeno and red pepper slices.
  3. Place pan in a water bath and bake 1 hour or until firm.

*If you have never seeded and sliced fresh jalapenos before, I suggest gloves and WASH those hands VERY VERY well and very carefully before going to the bathroom touching your eyes. Trust me. Should you not do this… buttermilk works well to soothe the burning sensation.
