What's a miga?
I love migas and clicked on this recipe out of curiousity, but I don't think I'm going to try it. I make the San Antonio Migas recipe from the Food Network all the time and it's really good. Uses corn tortillas in lieu of tortillas chips, adds chopped green chiles, red bell pepper, etc. I only add a little pickled jalapeño at the end for a little extra kick.
Migas is a Spanish word that means bits, pieces, or crumbs. This dish is made from bits and pieces of tortilla or tortilla chips, onion, jalapeño, eggs, cheese, etc. Very traditional Mexican breakfast dish. And delicious.
The Migas I was introduced to had more vegetables. I sautéed green/ red/ yellow bell peppers,and added black beans before scrambling the eggs into it. Also,instead of corn tortilla chips,it had corn tortillas torn into bite size pieces. Healthy and delicious !
A friend would make migas with french fries to break fast after Yom Kippur.
Making the tortilla chips yourself adds a nice warmth. Definitely add some bell peppers to get more veggies. Also squeezing a lime and/or adding a little hot sauce at the end wouldn't hurt!
I like to add chorizo to my migas.

Excellent. I use green chiles rather than jalapeños (i'm in New Mexico!). Love Mugabe, good recipe!
