I love Migas for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. A real favorite for me. I do wait until the eggs are almost finished before adding cubed Monterey Jack and chopped green onions. The cubes don’t melt as completely as shredded cheese and I love that. After plating I top with fresh chopped tomato or homemade chunky salsa or pico di gallo. Thank you for highlighting this really yummy dish!

In reply to LESLIE. maybe try more tortillas or a brand with thicker chips? You could also bake or fry corn tortillas instead of using chips - that would be more authentic.

I used to live in Austin and I adored migas. The little hole in the wall taco place I went to was so good. When I make them, however, I don’t really taste the tortillas. It makes all the difference in the taste. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Every time I go back to visit Austin, I always make a stop at Veracruz at Radio Coffee & Beer. BEST breakfast tacos!

These were so good and really quick to make. They will definitely be part of our regular rotation around here!

Hi Kathy!
I live in Mexico, in the northern states, maybe that is the reason that we really eat migas =) we cook them different here, we don´t use tortilla chips, we put tortillas with little oil first and then the eggs.

But if someone give me the option of migas or huevos rancheros, I would choose huevos rancheros!

I have lived in Austin since the mid 70's. It's to imagine not knowing about mogas, but I forget how localized many Tex Mex dishes are. I had a funny experience with Migas once. I was down in Mexico visiting a family for a work situation. The first morning I was presented with a totally American breakfast. I guess my face fell a little and they asked if I would like something different the next day. I said Migas. They looked at me in a very puzzled way and explained to me that literally meant leftovers. It was then I understood that the chips were the leftovers. And the dish was not made there. The next day I did, however, have the best huevos rancheros I've ever eaten.
