Migas

[donotprint] Migas might be my most favorite egg breakfast dish ever.  Eggs, jalapenos, salsa, cheese, chips… my mouth starts watering just thinking about them.

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

Texican Hash: Mouthwatering Monday

If your mouth isn’t watering just looking at that picture… well, then you’re certainly not a Texan.

This dish is easily adjustable and one of my favorites.
It is crispy and spicy and the flavors just explode on your tongue in a wonderful tonguegasmic taste fiesta.
I can crockpot it or leave it simmering on the stove for hours while I blog read clean house and teach my children to speak multiple languages.
The ingredients are simple and the recipe is a dash of this and a can of that.

So here goes.

Texican Hash

* 2 pounds of lean ground beef (I use 90/10)
* 2 packages taco seasoning
* 1 can corn (big can)
* 1 can black beans (big can)
* 1/4 C nacho sliced jalapenos, chopped
* 3 chipotles in adobo sauce, chopped
* 1 large yellow onion, chopped
* 1 (7 oz) can diced green chilies
for the topping and layering
* Shredded cheddar or Mexican Blend Cheese
* 1 bag corn tortilla chips
* Sour cream and green onions and salsa for garnish

In a very large skillet or stock pot brown Ground Beef and then cook according to taco seasoning instructions.
Now comes the fun part :-) .
Dump all of the ingredients in with the ground beef and stir well. Bring to a lovely bubbling heat and then turn the heat down to simmer, put the lid on it and simmer for at least 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
(You could let this simmer for hours if you so desire, just stir occasionally)

In a 9X13 (or whatever sizes you have handy) baking dish place a layer of corn tortilla chips. Top with hash. top with cheese.
Repeat until dish is full. Finish off with a layer of chips and cheese.
You could purty it up by laying sliced jalapenos on top of the cheese.

Heat in a 375 degree F oven until the cheese is all gooey and melted and bubbling like hot delicious cheesy lava.

Scoop out onto a plate or bowl, top with sour cream, salsa and green onions. Devour.

You can come back and thank me later.

This is one of those delightfully easy dishes that can be adjusted to your family’s spiciness level or you can take away or add all different kinds of ingredients to make it your own.

* you can add diced tomatoes or charro beans or whatever you want to make this your own. I use one hot and spicy taco seasoning and one original. Enjoy!!!

Southern Fried Chicken

* Scooby Style tongue maneuvers are a possible side effect from reading this recipe and looking at the pictures. Please attach your bib or drool cup now and cover your keyboard with a towel to prevent short circuiting it due to copious amount of saliva pouring from your mouth.

Today’s recipe is for BusyDad who calls me evil for posting this stuff while he’s dieting but at the same time requests more and calls it food porn. So Jim, this one’s for you :-) insert maniacal laughter here

Southern Fried Chicken

First on today’s list you must have the seasoning down. This is an all purpose seasoning mix that you make at home and can be used for any kind of meat. (or veggies)

* 1/4 C + 3 Tbsp Salt
*  1/4 C Garlic Powder
* 1 Tbsp Onion Powder
* 1 Tbsp Paprika
*  1/4 C coarsely ground Pepper
* 1 Tbsp White Pepper
* 3/4 tsp Cumin
* 1 tsp Cayenne

* dash of cinnamon

I mix the spices in an empty Spice Shaker and shake-ity shake shake until they are well blended. Always shake well before using to make sure all the spices are well blended.

For this sinfully tonguegasmically delectable Southern Fried Chicken you will need:

* 4 boneless skinless Chicken Breasts
* 3 C flour
* 2 eggs
* 3 C buttermilk
* 2 C milk
* 2 C vegetable oil
* Meat Seasoning

Marinate your chicken breasts in the buttermilk for at least one hour before cooking, this gives the chicken that wonderful moist juiciness.

Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium heat, to approximately 375 degrees. You want a drop of egg wash to sizzle when dripped into the oil.

Mix the 3 C flour and roughly 1/4 C of your seasoning and put on a plate or other dish. You can use less or more seasoning, it depends on your taste buds.

Briskly whisk together the eggs and the milk. Then take each piece of chicken out of the buttermilk mixture and dip it into the egg/milk wash. Then place it into the flour mixture and thoroughly coat each side. Set the chicken onto a plate and repeat process with each piece of chicken.

With tongs gently place each piece of chicken into your oil and cook about 3 to 4 minutes each side. The breading will turn a crispy golden brown color.

This would be absolutely perfect followed by or even paired with my Coffee Malt recipe that’s posted on Blissfully Domestic.

I also make the kids’ chicken tenders with this same recipe and they can’t get enough of them.
