Migas are eggs scrambled with crisp tortilla strips, onion, tomato, and chile, often finished with cheese. In San Antonio they are a breakfast-and-brunch staple, served on a plate with beans and tortillas or folded into a taco, the savoury start to a Tex-Mex morning.
Migas, meaning crumbs, has roots in using up day-old tortillas, and the Tex-Mex version became a breakfast fixture across San Antonio's cafes and taquerias. The dish bridges home cooking and restaurant menus, a thrifty, satisfying egg plate that anchors weekend brunch and weekday breakfast alike across the city.
