Migas - What's your favorite version?
I'm making migas for the first time this Sunday. I've read many different versions of the recipe and have an idea of what ingredients I want to use. However, the big sticking point is this: Some recipes use actual tortilla chips and some have you use regular corn tortillas cut into strips and sauteed for a bit.
Which do YOU prefer?

I like the tortillas, preferably a little stale. The texture is nicer, some chewy, some soft and some crisp. And I use fresh tomatoes, onions, and chiles, rather than salsa. And I could use a little right now, come to think of it....

Tortilla strips, with a bit of cheese, and some salsa on the side.

Tortilla strips work for me.

I use slightly stale leftover tortilla chips - it's a great way to use up the little hard-to-eat bits in the bag...scrambled with some cheese and hot sauce, maybe some jalapenos, with a bit of sour cream if I have it. I love migas!!

I like chips. Many of the recipes I have seen for migas that call for tortilla strips fry them in the oil for a minute, essentially making homemade tortilla chips.

@lemons' version is how I make mine, plus I put some milk in the eggs. Just make sure you cook them and serve them wet and shiny. Home fries and refried beans on the side works too. We always have some non-stale corn tortillas and make breakfast migas tacos. soogood.
