2. Easy Migas Recipe

Total time: 20 minutes

Migas is a Spanish word that can be translated to “crumbs.” As the name suggests, it’s a famous Mexican dish consisting of crispy corn tortilla strips soaked in whipped eggs and flavorful spices.

This easy Migas recipe makes things more simple by using the instant tortilla chip, jalapeno eggs, onion, and salsa for the flavoring. The slightly sweet and spicy flavors of salsa will bring this Migas onto another level.

A light, glistening, and fully scrambled egg texture is the key to a delicious Migas. Ensure that you don’t overcook the eggs or make the egg’s base turn brown. You can serve Migas in flour tortillas, but they don’t deliver as high quality as fresh corn tortillas.

Tortilla pizza is a go-to dish when you’re feeling lazy. Its flavor is very simple but still sufficient for a yummy and filling breakfast. Plus, it takes only a few minutes to assemble the ingredients and bake this pizza. It’s hard to demand an easier and more convenient food.

The great thing about pizzas is that you can garnish them with any favorite toppings to achieve a rich and satisfying flavor. Some red onions, veggies, spinach, parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes would be perfect for this recipe.

The crispy browned crust combined with the pleasant sweetness of the tortilla flour pizza makes a great base for this dish. Spread on it some hot sauce for extra spiciness and mozzarella cheese for a creamy texture.

This slow cooker chicken tortilla soup tastes so special with its delicious Tex-Mex flavor from Picante sauce and condensed cream. It’s an ideal recipe for those looking for an easy and comforting dish on cold winter days.

The canned condensed cream gives this soup a super creamy and dense texture with a bright yellow color. The added shredded cheddar cheese also brings an extra buttery taste that well complements the soup’s sweet and filling flavors.

Of course, you need the corn tortillas strips along with some rich veggies and chicken breasts for this recipe. Keep in mind that you have to use boneless chicken breasts and shred them into tiny pieces before adding to the soup.

This dish is ridiculously simple with only two ingredients: whole wheat flour and sweet potato. The tortillas are finely fried without using any oil, giving them a super soft and tender texture. The recipe also works with potatoes, but I don’t think it brings a delicious taste.

The Quesadillas feature a cheesy and creamy layer from a ton of mozzarella cheese sprinkled on the tortilla flour. If you don’t have mozzarella cheese, any kind of store-bought or grated cheese will work.
