Migas
A popular breakfast dish on Tex-Mex menus throughout the Southwest, migas is (or, more correctly, migas are) scrambled eggs laced with strips of corn tortilla. Literally meaning "crumbs," migas may also contain diced crumbled chorizo sausage, vegetables, or hot jalapeno peppers. Serve with warm flour tortillas.
