Swiss Chard and Leek Migas
 
 
The perfect one-pot breakfast, these migas are full of crispy tortilla strips, nutritious vegetables, and creamy Manchego cheese.
Yield: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
  • 4 5-inch corn tortillas
  • 1¼ cups vegetable oil, divided
  • 10 large eggs
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • salt, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 bunch swiss chard, leaves torn into thin strips
  • 1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 1 leek, ends removed, chopped
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup shredded Manchego cheese
Instructions
  1. To make the corn strips, cut the tortillas in half and then into thin strips. Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. In batches, fry the tortilla strips for 1-2 minutes, or until browned and crispy, flipping them about halfway through. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
  2. Whisk the eggs and the heavy cream together in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Pour out the oil from the pan used for frying the tortilla strips. Add the remaining ¼ cup oil over medium heat. Saute the swiss chard until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the leek and bell pepper and saute for another 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, in a circular motion until the eggs begin to solidify. Stir in the fried tortilla strips. Continue cooking until eggs are cooked through.
  4. Remove from heat, top with cheese, and serve.
