    Migas

    My hometown has arguably the best breakfast taco stand in North America. It started in a trailer next to a shady gas station. Back then, tacos were only $1, and pretty much everyone stopped there before school. You woke up early just to make it there before they stopped serving breakfast. Oh and Sundays were the worst, because they weren't open. More recently they have upgraded to a taco plaza complete with a market, restaurant, and the same convenience of a walk-up window. Welcome to Texas my friends, where we have Breakfast Taco Plazas. Needless to say, nowhere quite compares so I settle for making my own breakfast.

    Today we are talking about Migas, a Tex-Mex Comfort food. Eggs scrambled with onions, peppers, and corn tortillas. Simple ingredients that somehow transform to this magical dish. If you've never had Migas, you are really missing out my friend.

    Migas are traditionally served at breakfast, but I make them quite often for dinner. They are a healthy budget friendly recipe. I can’t remember how many times we had these during our first year of marriage.

    To make these healthier …. Rather than frying the tortillas, they are broiled until toasty. You get the same result – slightly crisp tortillas – with fewer calories and fat.
