Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 corn tortillas, sliced into 1/2-inch-wide strips, then cut into 2-inch-long pieces
- One 4-ounce can green chiles, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons salsa verde
- 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 scallions, sliced
- 1/4 cup Mexican crema
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously. Set aside.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the tortilla strips and cook, stirring and tossing, until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chiles and onion to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs to the pan, season with salt and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring to scramble and combine, until most of the moisture is cooked out, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the salsa verde.
- Serve topped with the cheese. Garnish with the avocado, cilantro, scallions and a drizzle of crema.

Sunny’s Migas verdes looks so yummy! Thanks, Sunny!
Quick, easy, and really delicious! Love it!
I made this with what I had on hand, so store bought tortilla chips, crumbled, and no onion, avocado or crema, and cheddar cheese rather than pepper jack. The result was still delicious! If using tortilla chips, don’t “cook” them, just throw in the pan or they get soggy right away. I’d also increase the egg ratio and cilantro. This is similar to a huevos ranchero dish I get at a local diner.
One of our very favorite recipes!!! Great for breakfast AND dinner!
So Great & Easy! Hungry after dancing the night away? YES! Thank You “Sunny Lady”!
This is always a hit when we go camping! The fried corn tortilla strips make the dish – adds great texture.
Delicious!!! We had this for meatless dinner. Kids and hubby liked it too!
This was a fantastic breakfast. On the show someone mentioned adding chorizo. I couldn’t find chorizo so I browned 1/2 pound hot italian sausage and added it before adding the eggs.
Love this and am not normally a verde fan !
Made this this morning! I didn’t have the corn tortillas, but used hash browns as the base. Really good! It goes a long way also.
