Pioneer Woman's Migas

invictus's Note:

This is from the website thepioneerwoman.com and modified a bit. I left out the jalepeno all together but I would substitute green chilis if I wanted a tiny bit of heat. Your choice. We topped this with green chili taco sauce. YUM!

Great brunch! I didn't fry the tortillas but used them as a wrap instead. Also, I browned a sliced link of chorizo and one of Trader Joe's chicken with jalapeno sausage to go into the wrap. I probably goofed up the whole concept, but it sure tasted good! Thanks!

I fixed these for breakfast. Very good, traditional migas, we enjoyed them very much. Your instructions did not specify when to add in the tortilla strips. I added them in with the tomato and cilantro.
