Migas · Austin
Tex-Mex scrambled eggs cooked with crispy tortilla chips, jalapenos, onions, tomatoes and cheese. Wrapped in a flour tortilla as a taco or served on a plate with beans and potatoes.
Migas in central Texas is a working-kitchen rescue of stale tortillas, dating to early 20th-century Mexican-American homes. The Austin restaurant version was canonised at Cisco's on East 6th Street in the 1950s and Magnolia Cafe in the 1980s. Veracruz All Natural's migas taco, served on a homemade corn tortilla, became the national reference plate; Food Network named the Veracruz migas one of the country's five best tacos in 2016. The dish is now Austin's defining breakfast plate.
