Reviews
This recipe is ok. I liked the novelty of using corn tortillas. However, I think maybe adding some hot breakfast sausage might add a lot to this recipe. I only added 4 corn tortillas which was plenty for this recipe. Next time I will sauté the onions and jalapeños because the onions and peppers were still crunchy.
Yummm. Used a poblano pepper and red onion sautéed with garlic and tomatoes. Also used 6 eggs for extra
This was really good. The onion and jalapeno were crunchy-almost raw. Next time, I’ll sauté them first. This is a perfect amount for three people.
I love migas and I love them even more with the addition of Mexican chorizo, which I added. I did not measure anything just added it all in and they were perfect. This is a good basic recipe and one that I will constantly make. Thanks for the recipe.
