There’s something magical about migas tacos—the kind of magic that happens when humble ingredients collide in a hot pan and come out better than anyone expects. Crispy tortilla strips, soft scrambled eggs, a hit of onion and chile, maybe a little tomato, all wrapped up in a warm tortilla… it’s comfort food with a swagger. Born in Tex-Mex kitchens and perfected at breakfast tables across the Southwest, migas tacos are proof that the best meals don’t need to be fancy—they just need to be done right. Whether you’re chasing nostalgia or discovering them for the first time, migas tacos are here to turn any morning into a celebration.

How to make it
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a pot to 350˚F. Add in the sliced tortillas and fry until crispy. About 5-7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined baking sheet and season with salt.
Preheat a large pan over medium heat and add in the extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, tomato, and jalapeno. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent. About 5-7 minutes. Add in the homemade tortilla chips and cheese and mix together.
Add the eggs, 1 tsp of salt, and black pepper to a bowl and whisk until creamy. Then pour into the pan. Gently fold the eggs until scrambled to your liking. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Serve your migas on warmed flour tortillas and garnish with cilantro, avocado, queso fresco, and salsa.
