Tex Mex Migas

My Texas friend showed me this breakfast recipe, and I’ve been hooked since!

If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the lookout for recipes that are quick, flavorful, and can bring a little excitement to your regular meal rotation.

Today, I’ve got just the thing: Tex Mex Migas! This dish is a traditional Mexican breakfast that’s been Tex-ified with the addition of crispy tortilla strips. It’s basically a fiesta on a plate and a fantastic way to kickstart your day.

Migas, which means “crumbs” in Spanish, originated as a way to use up leftovers – because, let’s face it, no one likes to waste food, especially not delicious tortillas! And the great thing about this dish is its versatility – you can adapt it to whatever you’ve got lying around in the fridge.

Whether it’s a bustling weekday morning or a lazy Sunday brunch, migas are a go-to for their simplicity and the fact that they practically beg you to jazz them up with your favorite toppings. Trust me, once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand why migas have become a staple in both humble homes and bustling brunch spots across Texas!

Tex Mex Migas can be a stand-alone star or part of a bigger breakfast spread.

I love to serve them with a side of refried beans topped with a sprinkle of cheese, some zesty salsa or pico de gallo, and a dollop of sour cream. For a touch of freshness, you can add sliced avocados or guacamole. Don’t forget a warm cup of coffee or a cold glass of orange juice to wash it all down perfectly!
