Notes

This dish is typically made using leftover corn tortillas, so if you have some at hand, all you need to do is cut them up, bake or fry them until they’re crunchy and then use them for the recipe. 
In addition to everything else, you can also add some refried beans or crispy corn into the mix to make the Migas breakfast more filling. I love using my corn Pico de Gallo to bring a bit more deliciousness and texture to the dish. 
I would recommend using a spicy salsa (think pineapple Pico de Gallo or mango Pico de Gallo) to add some extra flavor to the eggs. 
If you have any leftovers, you can cover them up with some cling wrap or transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to a day. 
To reheat them, pop them into a frying pan, sprinkle a bit of water and cover it with a lid, letting it reheat over medium heat.
