Ingredients
8 large eggs
Kosher salt
2 plum tomatoes, diced
3 tablespoons vegetable, canola, or peanut oil
1 medium red or yellow onion, diced
2 jalapeños, stemmed, seeded, and diced
1 cup crushed Nacho Cheese-flavored Doritos, plus finely crushed Doritos for granish
3 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated or diced
Freshly ground black pepper
Warmed corn tortillas, for serving
Diced avocado, for serving
Hot sauce, for serving
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk eggs with 2 generous pinches of salt and set aside. In a medium bowl, toss tomatoes with a generous pinch salt, then transfer tomatoes to a strainer and set over bowl to drain. Heat oil in a large cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion and jalapeños and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add eggs and cook, stirring until curds begin to form, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup crushed Doritos and continue to cook until eggs are nearly set, about 2 minutes. Stir in cheese until mostly melted. Add tomatoes and continue to cook, stirring, until tomatoes are warmed through and eggs are just cooked, 1-2 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat. Serve migas with warm tortillas and avocado, if desired, and top with crushed Doritos and hot sauce.
