The Mexican dish of scrambled eggs with fried tortilla strips is called migas.
Mexican migas is a traditional breakfast made by frying or crisping pieces of corn tortilla, then mixing them with beaten eggs. The dish often includes onion, tomato, jalapeño, or serrano chile, and it is commonly served with refried beans and additional tortillas.
The name can cause confusion because migas also refers to older Spanish and Portuguese dishes made with breadcrumbs or stale bread. Mexican migas developed as a practical way to use leftover or hardened tortillas, turning an inexpensive staple into a filling meal.
Migas is also easily confused with chilaquiles. Chilaquiles usually centers on tortilla chips softened in salsa, with eggs or meat added separately, while migas combines the crisp tortilla pieces directly with scrambled eggs. Regional versions vary, including a Mexico City soup called migas made with day-old bread and pork.
