Mark's 'Mazing Migas

First of all, I have to say that my only exposure to authentic Mexican cooking if from my brother-in-law Dan.  He has introduced me to chorizo, fideo, migas, and other Mexican dishes.  So when I saw this recipe for migas I at least knew that it would be good.  The only problem is that I have no idea what is in migas.To the cloud... the literal translation is "crumbs".  This is a traditional breakfast dish of eggs with tortilla strips in the mix.

The fun part was cooking the tortillas on the stove top.  I had never made my own tortilla strips and you basically just fry up regular tortillas in canola oil and then cut them into strips after they are crispy.  It adds and nice crunch to the dish.  What really makes it good though its the fresh cilantro that you add towards the end. I really like the taste of cilantro and like to chop up a bunch to add while it is cooking and garnish with when it is plated.

When it is ready to serve, I sliced up some oranges as a side/garnish.  Just add a dollop of sour cream and call everyone to the table.  Needless to say these did not last long at my house.

One more recipe down on my journey.  Next up is a hearty chili with cornbread.

Looking forward to "eating" with you soon!
