Science claims that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So why not have it twice? I jump for joy whenever someone suggests breakfast for dinner.
The smell of maple sliding down a warm fluffy pancake feels like a hug. A breakfast sausage is the perfect compliment to the plate as it soaks up the leftover syrup. I become automatic best friends with whoever brings a pastry like a steamy flaky croissant or a biscuit. And no breakfast for dinner is complete without a cold glass of fresh squeezed apple juice.
Although I love all those different aspects of the meal, none of them are my specialty. My signature dish comes wrapped in a warm tortilla, with a side of salsa, and filled with love. A migas breakfast taco is my go-to. It’s a Tex-Mex classic.
A buttery tortilla gets stuffed with eggs, jalapeño, pico de gallo, and tortilla chips. Double the tortilla, double the fun! Next time you are craving breakfast for dinner, make these migas tacos.
You’ll need:
- Flour tortillas
- Eggs
- Pico de gallo
- Jalapeño
- Tortilla chips
- Your favorite salsa or queso!
What to do:
- Warm your tortillas on a pan on the stove on medium heat. Watch for them to rise and start forming small bubbles. While you wait, you can dice your jalapeño Then, it’s time to flip them and repeat.
- Remove the tortillas and pour a small amount of avocado oil into the pan. Crack your eggs in a separate bowl and whisk them till they are at your desired scrambled amount.
- Pour your eggs into the pan, and let them sit until the bottom is slightly cooked through.Then start flipping and mixing the eggs around.
- When you have cooked the eggs to your desired amount, I like a hard scramble personally, lay them on top of your tortillas.
- Scoop and spoonful of pico de gallo onto each taco, and top them with a sprinkle of cilantro (if you wish.)
- Grab a few tortilla chips in your hand, crush them up, and then garnish your tacos with the crushed chips.
- Roll them up like you would swaddle a baby (you will love them like you love your own baby), dip into your favorite salsa, and enjoy!
My recipe is inspired by the migas tacos from Kerby Lane, Tacodeli, and Torchy’s Tacos. These restaurants are filled with good eats and some of my favorite memories of catching up with friends and family.
No matter where I am living, I will fill my kitchen table with lovely people and lovely Texas breakfast tacos.
