Migas
Scrambled eggs, crispy tortilla strips, peppers and queso fresco.
Maui's an app that plans a whole week of dinners like this one. See how it works ↓
Fold the chips in at the very end - early = soggy, late = chip-meets-egg perfection. About 20 seconds before the eggs look done is right.

Just before eggs fully set, fold in the crispy tortilla squares and diced tomato. Off heat. Top with crumbled queso, cilantro, lime wedge.
2 min · hands onMake it yours
Every swap here is one Maui already knows how to make, including what it does to the timing.
Crumble 10 oz extra-firm tofu, sauté 4 min with turmeric and salt.
Stir in shredded Jack just as eggs are set.
Skip cheese; brighten with extra lime and cilantro.
Or use a dairy-free crumbly cheese if you have one.
What keeps
Migas is a fresh-and-fast dish - the whole point is crispy tortilla pieces in eggs, both of which go sad in the fridge. Make and eat.
