MIGAS

1 In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and hot sauce.

2 Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the oil. Fry tortilla strips, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

3 Heat the remaining 1 tsp (5 ml) oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, jalapeño and garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until egg curds are almost set. Stir in cheddar and crispy tortillas—season with salt and pepper to taste.

4 Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro leaves and cilantro lime crema on the side.
