What Are Migas Tacos?

Migas is the Spanish word for crumbs, and migas tacos are tacos made with scrambled eggs with crumbled-up tortilla chips.

If you’ve never had migas, you are in for a surprise. There’s a reason these are the #1 breakfast at your favorite Tex-Mex breakfast spot.

If tortilla chips in scrambled eggs sound a little odd, trust me when I tell you that you need this recipe in your taco rotation.

The eggs cook into the chips, which stay slightly crisp, while melted cheese and fresh pico cling to everything, all loaded up in your favorite tortilla.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Nothing but simple ingredients are required to make the best-tasting breakfast tacos! 

  • Olive oil: for cooking. 
  • Pico de Gallo: adds an element of freshness to the scrambled eggs! Swap for salsa. 
  • Eggs: scrambled with lots of flavor and crunch.  
  • Crushed tortilla chips: our crunchy element and makes one killer taco stuffing. 
  • Shredded cheese: makes everything better. 
  • Corn tortillas: or your favorite small flour tortillas. 
  • Avocado: or guacamole- your pick! 
  • Cilantro: isn’t necessary, but it makes these tacos taste and look better!

How to Make Migas Tacos for Breakfast

This is one taco night recipe that comes together in a flash! Here’s an overview of the recipe with a video for your enjoyment. 

  1. Scramble the eggs
    In a large skillet, cook the pico de gallo over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and cook until scrambled. 
  2. Crush the chips
    Toss the chips right into the skillet with the cheese. Give everything a good stir and remove from heat. 
  3. Bon appetite
    Warm the tortillas in the oven or microwave and top each with the egg mixture, more cheese, avocado, and cilantro. Take a bite and bon appetite! 

Here is how to make these migas tacos step-by-step.

What to Put On Migas Tacos

Traditionally, migas tacos are served with cheese, a little sour cream, and pico de gallo. Want to load it up some more? Add sliced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro to finish it all off.

You can always swap the pico de gallo for fresh salsa and the sliced avocado for my easy guacamole or spicy guacamole.

How Many Calories are in a Migas Taco?

Making breakfast tacos at home is always best and the healthiest option when you want to eat tacos for breakfast. Each migas tacos have 180 calories and 9g of protein.
