My Favorite Migas Breakfast Tacos

I love a good Tex-Mex recipe. And when it collides with breakfast, well – those are two of my favorite things!

I’ve made Migas before, and I’ve definitely made tacos before, but combining the two is perfection. These tacos come together so quickly that I actually have time to make them in the morning during all of the busyness and chaos. And they make a great breakfast for dinner, as well!

Ingredients

Oil: This is for cooking your vegetables, so I will usually use extra virgin olive oil. You could also use vegetable oil or avocado oil or another neutral oil of your choice.

Onion: Choose a white, yellow, or red onion. I keep yellow onions on hand, so that is what I use.

Jalapeno: If you like a lot of heat, use the whole jalapeno pepper, seeds and all. You will get less heat if you remove the seeds and the membranes.

Garlic: This is also for flavor. I like to add extra, so feel free to adjust this to taste.

Tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes are definitely best here. In a pinch, you could use canned diced tomatoes, but you’ll want to drain them first.

Eggs: Use large eggs.

Tortilla Chips: The tortilla chips are what bring the “migas” into this recipe. And because you’re adding the chips, you’ll want to serve these pretty soon after making them. I just crush up the tortilla chips, but you could also use tortilla strips.

Cheese: I like to use Cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese, but feel free to change this up or add in some queso fresco or cotija.

Tortillas: Use flour or corn tortillas – whichever you prefer.

Toppings: I like to add additional cilantro and some sliced avocado, but you could also add some pico de gallo or another salsa.

How to Make Migas Tacos

1. Cook the onion and the jalapeno in the oil, then add the tomato and the garlic for the last 30 seconds.
2. Add the beaten eggs and cook until your desired doneness. Add the cheese and the crushed tortilla chips and stir to combine.
3. Divide the egg mixture evenly between the 6 tortillas and top with your desired toppings.

Tips and Tricks

When using flour tortillas, I like to blister them first over my gas stove flame or in a skillet. If using corn tortillas, you’ll want to heat them up, as well, so they don’t crack.

Make them your own! These are pretty basic so that they can be made quickly in the morning, but feel free to add in some bacon or chorizo if you have the time and want some extra flavor.

Make sure to season with salt and black pepper.

Add in some hot sauce for extra heat.
