Migas is a traditional Mexican breakfast dish that includes scrambled eggs with crunchy tortilla chips. Here, we upgrade migas with a platter of refried beans and avocado, all of which are enlivened with a punchy chili oil—a fast, satisfying meal for any time of day.

Hot stuff
Chili oil is a spicy, aromatic condiment that can add fiery flavour to a range of foods and prepared meals. Drizzle over roasted sweet potatoes and blanched vegetables; add it to marinades for chicken or fish; toss with cold, cooked noodles; blend into dips; stir into salad dressings; or use it to punch up various egg-based dishes.
