Whole grain tortillas add fiber while corn tortillas are often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

chorizo

🥗Healthier: turkey chorizo

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Turkey chorizo is leaner while pork sausage can be more affordable.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with fewer calories.

Cut tortillas into small squares.

Roast 2 roma tomatoes, 1 jalapeño, 1 small piece of red bell pepper, and 1 garlic clove.

Transfer roasted ingredients to a bowl and smash garlic, tomatoes, bell pepper, and jalapeño together.

Season the salsa with a little bit of salt.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

Fry the tortilla squares in the hot oil for about 6 minutes.

Remove some oil from the pan and add 8 ounces of chorizo sausage; break it down and mix it with the tortillas.

Move the mixture to the side and add 1 small piece of bell pepper, 1 roma tomato, 1 quarter of a white onion, and 1 chili serrano; cook for about 5 minutes.

Add beaten eggs seasoned with salt and black pepper to the pan and cook everything together until eggs are fully cooked.

Taste for salt and adjust if necessary; add Mexican blend cheese and cover to melt the cheese.

Serve the migas topped with queso fresco, avocado, and with leftover beans on the side.
