- 2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
- 23 cup grated mild cheddar cheese (or Monterrey jack)
- sour cream
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk, cultured (2% or 4%)
- In a small bowl, lightly beat together the eggs, water and salsa, and set aside.
- Chop the onion, green chiles, tomato, avocado and cilantro before you start the migas so they'll be ready when you need them.
- Warm the butter and olive oil in a heavy skillet.
- Add the tortilla pieces and saute until softened.
- Add the chopped onion and saute until it is transparent.
- Stir in the chopped green chiles.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and "scramble" until eggs are done.
- Remove the skillet from heat, and sprinkle the chopped tomato, avocado, cilantro and cheese into the eggs, again stirring well.
- Serve at once with warm flour tortillas.
- Garnish with additional salsa and crema or sour cream.
- For the Crema:.
- (MAKES JUST OVER 1 CUP).
- Gently stir together the whipping cream and buttermilk in a small non-reactive bowl.
- Loosely cover the bowl, and allow it to sit at room temperature between 8 and 24 hours until thickened and tangy.
- Stir well, cover and refrigerate.
- Crema will keep for at least one week.
- *"A word of caution: This is not the time to try out the vinegar/milk buttermilk substitution.
- If you don't have any buttermilk in the house, I'm afraid you're just going to have to make trip to the store.
