Have you ever had Migas before? If not, try them soon.
I first saw this recipe in the Pioneer Woman Cooks cookbook. You can also find the recipe on her blog. They are all that is good about Mexican style eggs. Crunchy tortilla cut up and mixed in with the scrambled eggs along with all of the yummy fixins.
This is perfect brunch or breakfast food and it will keep you nice and full for a busy day!
We are heading out to a place called Celebrity Dairy this afternoon. They have an “Open Barn” today and apparently you can see all of the baby goats at the farm. They also have a little spread for lunch with Johnnycakes and soup. You can also get some of their own Chevre which I can’t wait for. It’s a bit cold here today (and windy) so we are going to bundle up.
Enjoy!
