Migas

4 eggs
1 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. salsa
1 Tbsp. bacon drippings or vegetable oil
1/4 c. chopped green or red bell pepper
1/4 c. chopped onion
1/2 to 1 fresh jalapeño, minced
12 to 16 tostada chips, broken
1/2 c. grated Cheddar or Monterey jack cheese
2 tsp. minced cilantro (optional)

Beat eggs lightly with water and salsa. Set aside.

In a cast iron skillet warm bacon drippings over med. heat. Add bell pepper, onion and jalapeño, sautéing them until limp. Pour in eggs and stir them up from the bottom of the skillet as they cook. About a min. before the eggs are done, add the chips, stirring them in well. Remove the eggs from the heat, and stir in the cheese, reserving a little to scatter over the top. Sprinkle the cilantro over the eggs, if you like.

Serve the migas immediately with warm flour tortillas and more salsa or picanté sauce.

Migas may also be cooked by scrambling eggs, then warming the eggs and chips in warm ranchero sauce.
