You’re not going to believe how little it actually takes to make this breakfast that everyone will love.
Even though this is traditionally only served with tortilla chips on top, the folks at your table can choose to add so many different things to customize their migas experience.
We’re talking salsa, ketchup, mayonnaise, diced tomatoes, lime, cilantro…and so many more. This is truly a customizable breakfast.
