Migas

4 eggs
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp salsa
1 tbsp bacon drippings or vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped green or red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 to 1 fresh jalapeno, minced
12 to 16 tostada chips, broken
1/2 cup grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
2 tsps minced cilantro (optional)

Beat eggs lightly with water & salsa
Set aside

In a cast iron skillet warm bacon drippings over medium heat
Add bell pepper, onion & jalapeno, sauteing them until limp
Pour in eggs & 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, & 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 & more salsa or picante sauce

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