Migas is a popular breakfast dish in Spain and Latin America, typically cooked in a skillet using day-old bread, fresh vegetables, and eggs. Prepared in the Tex-Mex style, migas includes pieces of fried tortilla, lots of sweet and hot peppers, fresh tomatoes, eggs, and grated cheese. The dish is quick to prepare, packed with protein and healthy vegetables, and the crispy pieces of corn tortilla give it a unique texture—what could be better for a filling, healthy breakfast?
