Amaya’s Migas
“When I was a kid growing up in Corpus Christi, we used to eat migas for dinner during Lent,” remembers Robert Amaya of Austin’s Taco Village. “Migas or migajas, we called it. It was a meatless main dish made by frying up torn-up tortillas with eggs. We use tortilla chips now instead of fried tortillas, and we serve migas for breakfast.” Serve with Frijoles Refritos and tortillas.
