10 minutes 15 minutes 25 minutes

Ingredients
• 8 eggs
• 3 Tbsp milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2-1 tsp ancho chili powder (optional)
• 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack or Monterrey jack cheese
• 2 Tbsp butter, divided
• 2 Tbsp oil, divided
• 4 corn tortillas, cut into desired strips or triangles (see note 1)
• 1/2 small onion, diced
• 1/2 green bell pepper or poblano pepper, diced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced

Toppings
• Pico de Gallo
• avocado
• cilantro
• jalapeño

Serving
• corn tortillas, charred
• refried beans
• salsa
• shredded cheese

Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ancho chili powder, shredded cheese, salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Heat 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the
tortillas and cook; stirring, until they are golden and crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Plate them out on paper towel lined
plate.
3. In the same skillet, add remaining butter and oil, and sauté onion and bell peppers for 5 minutes.
 4. Give a quick stir to egg mixture. Add the egg mixture to the pan and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 5-6 minutes,
stirring frequently, until the eggs are completely scrambled.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the reserved crispy tortillas. Mix well. Taste and season for salt and pepper.
6. Top it with desired toppings like Pico de Gallo (or diced tomatoes and red onion), avocado, cilantro, jalapeno and any of
your preferred cheese.

Notes
1. You can skip frying the corn tortilla by using crispy tortilla chips for quicker Migas. They work great.
