💡 Tips for perfect migas

• Don’t overcrowd tortillas—they should fry, not steam.
• Add tortillas after eggs start setting to avoid sogginess.
• Leftover tortillas work great (that’s the whole point!).

🔥 Variations

• Migas con chorizo: Brown chorizo first, then proceed
• Migas Norteñas: Add onion + tomato only
• Extra crispy: Keep some tortillas aside and sprinkle on top

If you want, I can also share a Tex-Mex migas version or a breakfast taco build using migas as the base 🌮✨
