Recipe: Migas

By Vianney Rodriguez, Sweetlifebake

Migas are well known in every corner of Texas as a quick and easy way to start your morning. It’s the one dish mi papi has mastered, can you tell I have had my share of hefty plates of migas over the years? He carefully breaks apart each tortilla one by one so they are all uniform shape; he’s a dedicated Migas master. I, on the other han,d run a sharp knife through the tortillas and we’re off.  Diced Corn tortillas fried until golden, mixed with sautéed onion, tomato and Serrano for heat, with scrambled eggs, add a steamy cup of coffee and you’re ready for a delicious start to your day.
