Miga Tacos

One of my most favorite breakfast tacos are migas with beans and cheese.  Not to be confused with beans and cheese with migas.  Migas with beans and cheese focuses on migas more than beans and cheese.  Bean and cheese with  migas focused on bean and cheese with only the slightest amount of migas.  

Ingredients (per one taco)
Corn Tortilla
Flour Tortilla
Two Eggs
Salt
Spicy Refried Beans, warmed
Cheese
Salsa

Instructions:
Whisk two eggs with a dash of salt, set aside.

Dice corn tortilla into 1" squares and pan fry in skillet on high heat until dry.  Tortilla will take on some browning and get slightly crunchy edges.  To same pan, add eggs, cook and set aside.

Heat tortilla on skillet until warm on both side.  Spread one heaping dollop of beans, add migas (egg and corn tortilla mixture), top with cheese and salsa.  

Scaled for Likeability: Great
Migas are not difficult to make, just a little time consuming.  And let me tell you it is time well spent.  Depending upon regional location, migas may or may not contain a mixture of peppers, onion, and jalapenos, may be referred to as chilaquiles or migas chilaquiles.  What is important is fried corn chips with eggs.  

My migas are just corn tortillas and eggs.  My miga tacos are crunchy corn tortillas, soft fluffy eggs, warm spicy refried beans, melty cheddar cheese, and cold fresh homemade salsa all held together in a perfectly tender and slightly chewy flour tortilla.  It is wrapped up goodness.

Papas a La Mexicana (Ranchera)

It  is a crying shame that there are six hens and not a egg in sight. What am I supposed to do with homemade ranchero sauce? Thankfully with a few quick searches of the internet a recipe from my hometown newspaper was discovered: Papas Ranchera . Not once in the thirty years I lived in my hometown did I ever eat at a local food joint serving papas rancheras. No time like the present to remedy this cultural dish. Because this recipe is hidden behind a paywall (grrr...) I have included it here for you: Servings: 4-6  Ingredients: 1 pound potatoes, diced 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/2 large onion 1 1/2 medium tomatoes 3 jalapenos 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup juice from canned tomatoes Instructions: Fry potatoes in vegetable oil until lightly browned (about 4-6 minutes).  Saute onions, tomatoes, jalapenos until soft.  Add garlic powder and salt. Add tomato juice until vegetables are covered (may need to add water).  Bring to a boil and then add po...

Better Than Campbell's Old Fashion Vegetable Soup

Went to the store with the hopes of gathering fresh produce for soup. With more than 45 people in line for two packages of any meat product and the produce section containing only avocado, orange, and most randomly, strawberries, I settled upon canned soup.  Well not canned soup since that section was still void of food, too.  Instead soup made from canned goods as the canned vegetable section had been mostly restocked. Soups like this 15 Minute Vegetable Soup  are ideal in dire food situations such as current times. Modifications Made: Plain petite diced tomatoes omitted, frozen carrots instead of canned, green beans and corn undrained, peas omitted (gross, nasty little pods), one cup celery, three cups diced potatoes, one can tomato sauce, two beef and two pollo de tomate bouillon cubes, six cups water.  Once onions were softened, carrots/celery/potatoes/juice of green beans and corn, sauce, bouillon cubes, water were added and allowed to simmer until carrots almos...

Cold Corn Bean Salsa

  Nothing says junk food like chips and salsa, chips and cheese dip, chips and guacamole. Over the years I have perfected my salsa. It's good on tacos, on nachos, on enchiladas, and of course on chips. Just because I have the best salsa doesn't mean I don't like to try new salsa's like this Best Black Bean and Corn Salsa. Modifications Made: Shoepeg corn was replaced with one can of standard yellow corn with no salt added.  Petite diced tomatoes were reduced by half.  Italian dressing was swapped for half teaspoon comino, half teaspoon of chili powder, and two tablespoon of fresh lime juice.  Salsa was made and let rest for two hours before eating. Scaled for Likability: Good Salsa this was not.  Good it was however.  It was too much for chips by themselves but was great served over a soft beef taco.
