🌶Mexican Migas vs Tex-Mex Migas🌶
Tex-Mex Migas
Tex-Mex style Migas may have diced tomato, bell peppers, diced onions, Monterey Jack cheese, and sliced chile peppers, mixed into the lightly beaten eggs. The egg mixture is then added to the fried corn tortilla strips cooked in the skillet, and topped with avocado slices or sour cream.
Mexican Migas
Mexican-style Migas is usually a breakfast meal with corn tortilla strips or pieces fried, then beaten eggs added to the skillet. Toppings are on the side, like pico de gallo, sour cream, or your favorite salsa. I prefer Mexican Migas because I have control of what’s in Migas for the sake of my younger grandkids and what I prefer on the side. Most of my grandkids love cheese as a topping.
