Treat your ingredients with care...
- Corn tortillas — To achieve crispy tortilla strips, it is best to use stale tortillas. If you don't have stale tortillas, you can lightly toast them in the oven before cutting them into strips.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of spice, you can leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add a dash of hot sauce.
- Serve the Migas Canas with a side of refried beans and avocado slices for a complete Mexican breakfast experience.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute the chorizo with cooked bacon or omit it altogether.
- Garnish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a burst of citrusy flavor.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms.
Serving advice
Serve the Migas Canas hot, straight from the skillet, as it tastes best when enjoyed immediately. Pair it with warm tortillas or crusty bread for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.
Presentation advice
To make the dish visually appealing, sprinkle some extra chopped cilantro on top of the Migas Canas before serving. You can also garnish it with a few slices of fresh jalapeño for an added pop of color.
