    It’s a Mexican/TexMex breakfast dish: eggs with little bits of onion, peppers, tomatoes, and tortilla chip flakes, usually served with refried beans and potatoes.

    I’ve made it myself a few times but that’s never as fun as a getting it hot and fresh at a hole-in-the-wall joint.

    A lot of Mexican cuisine has Spanish origins since they colonized Mexico.

    In this specific example this style of migas is a Mexican inspired dish.

    The way my mother makes migas is normally just corn tortillas and eggs. That's the more classic dish. It's a way to use stale/old tortillas. You can shallow fry the cut tortillas or pan fry them with a little oil until golden brown and cripsy.

    This one seems to be "Huevos a la Mexicana" turned into migas topped with cheese. The variations with cheese is a younger generation/newer version.

    Edit: Just in case someone wants to try these other options.
