So what if this weekend we try an Delicious Authentic Migas recipe?

What if we add some refried beans and some finely chopped onions and maybe some avocado slices?

Would you like that?

I certainly would!

Or would you maybe give me a stare of confusion? “Wait Cathy, what is Migas?”

What is Migas?

Migas is a delicious breakfast treat, one we should all be treating ourselves to a little more often than not, for sure!

Migas is a Mexican breakfast skillet. 

The “Migas” refers to the corn tortilla pieces cooked until crispy and then cooked with scrambled eggs.

Migas with eggs (Migas con Huevos) can be mixed with onions, tomatoes, chile peppers, rajas (poblano strips), ham or chorizo.

You can also just simply add whatever leftover meat you have in the refrigerator,  like say chicken, but then again this would most likely make this dish Chicken Chilaquiles?  🙂 Yes I think so!

Variations of MIGAS

There are certain variations of  what could and is called MIGAS. 

For example, in Mexico City, “Migas” is something a bit different!

In Mexico City, Migas is a soup made with day old bolillos and then topped with a raw egg that is slowly cooked in the hot broth.

You will also hear the term Migas referring to Portuguese Migas which is a completely different dish as well as Spanish Migas.

A Spanish Migas Recipe consists of leftover bread with usually a blend of pork meat.

For this Mexican authentic migas recipe, I have added kielbasa sausage, tomatoes, onions, poblano peppers, jalapenos, cilantro, monterey jack cheese, eggs and of course the star of this Mexican breakfast skillet, the migas!

To accompany this already delicious migas breakfast I added refried beans, avocado slices and served it with warm corn tortillas just in case I wanted to have a migas taco!

This breakfast was just perfect!

So give this authentic migas recipe a try this weekend and let me know what you think.  I don’t believe you will be disappointed!

Also don’t forget the hot sauce!
