Migas are a quick and easy Mexican breakfast made with crispy corn tortillas and scrambled eggs with peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Simple, satisfying, and so good!
Migas are a weekend breakfast staple if you are growing up in my Mexican household. The most popular version is as simple as it gets – just eggs and leftover tortillas fried until crispy. No frills, just good food. This version adds a little extra flavor with onions, tomatoes, and peppers (aka a la Mexicana and sometimes referred to as Tex-Mex) and takes things up a notch while still keeping it easy and unfussy.
Migas (pronounced mee-gahs) are a traditional Mexican dish made from corn tortillas that are cut or torn into small pieces, fried until crispy, and then mixed with scrambled eggs and sautéed vegetables.
They’re typically served as a breakfast or brunch dish, but honestly, they’re good any time. Migas are all about simple ingredients and big flavor, and every family has their own spin on them.
