What are migas con huevo made of?

Migas con huevo consists of strips of toasted corn tortillas cooked with scrambled eggs.

Sometimes sliced hot dogs are added as well.

Migas can then be garnished with salsa.

There’s nothing better than a simple, humble and yummy meal.

And that’s exactly what this migas recipe is.

I like to garnish mine with raw diced white onion and cilantro and it gives it such incredible flavor!

I can’t eat this dish without it.

I also like to add a little of my salsa macha to add even more amazing flavor and spice.

This habanero salsa is also super delicious on migas.

It already has cilantro and diced onion in it.

If you’d like to stretch the migas con huevo further, I suggest serving them with a side of pinto beans.

Another thing I love about migas is that they’re economical so they’re perfect for families on a budget.

If you’re big on Mexican food then you most likely already have the ingredients needed to make them on hand.

Migas recipe tips

  • Use corn tortillas not tortilla chips.
  • Experiment to find the ratio of tortillas to eggs that you like.
  • Do garnish the migas with your favorite garnishes. This takes it to a whole new level flavor wise.
