Migas Fried Rice

A delicious cheesy rice dish!

I recently tried making the Migas Fried Rice that I found on Bon Appetit. It was so delicious! The cheesy rice dish reminded me of nachos, and can easily be modified with the addition of grilled meats, chicken or sausage. The sauce alone is so unique and delicious that I prefer it without meat.

This recipe is a fairly easy recipe that makes 4 servings with a prep time of about 5-10 minutes and a cook time of 10-15 minutes. If anyone is interested in checking out the instructions, please click on the image up above.
