Earlier this week I shared about how busy I would be prepping for the upcoming Midwest Media Moms Brands & Bloggers Summit and boy, I was right on! So, I am doing a special "throwback Thursday" post today and it's about food. YUM!

A few friends of mine and I were talking about migas the other day and I couldn't believe that they didn't know what they were! As luck would have it, one of my friends said she had the most delish corn tortillas that she bought from somewhere she visited recently and she is going to be dropping them by today. So naturally, I thought this post from 2009 was a great fit! Enjoy!

Homemade migas — for breakfast, lunch, whenever!


Sauteeing a few onions and corn tortillas.


Mmmm….almost done! My mouth was watering by this point!


I've died and gone to Texas! My finishing touches of some pico de gallo and fresh avocado made this dish even better!

My take on the best Tex-Mex Migas? Here you go!

What you'll need:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or other favorite cooking oil – oh and I didn't measure this, just eyeballed it in the pan!)
  • Corn tortillas (I used two) shredded/torn into bite size pieces
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (I didn't really measure, just chopped till I thought it was enough)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • Store bought (from the produce section) – or homemade – pico de gallo OR your favorite salsa!
  • Half an avocado (sliced and diced into small pieces)
  • A big 'ol hefty fork!

How to get it:

Add oil to pan over medium heat. Add onions and corn tortillas and begin a light simmer. Once onions become soft and translucent and corn tortillas are softened, add eggs to pan and cook thoroughly while mixing onions, tortillas, and eggs until firm. Add salt and pepper, if desired. Spoon the migas onto a plate and pile on the pico de gallo (or salsa) and fresh avocado. Grab that hefty fork and dig in!

Variations on this:

Don't be afraid to experiement with your favorite ingredients! That's what's great about migas….you can add just about anything! Try mixing in bacon or using sour cream as a topping along with some fresh cilantro. Either way, you can't go wrong!

    Yum. Gui and I loads of cheddar cheese on top and lots of Cholula hot sauce. Now I’m “hongry”!
