MigasMigas (ME-gahz), also known as migajas, are a traditional breakfast dish eaten in Texas and an integral part of Tex-Mex cuisine. Originally eaten during Lent, this meatless dish consists of egg scrambled and sauteed together in butter or oil with torn bits of stale tortilla, diced onions, sliced chiles, diced fresh tomatoes, and cheese, plus various spices and condiments (e.g. salsa, pico de gallo). History and etymology Migas are made from tortilla crumbs, and the term "migas" is almost certainly derived from the Spanish words miga or migaja, which mean "crumb". The dish itself is likely native to Texas, as no verifiable record of the origin of migas anywhere outside of the state has been discovered. Texas food writer Robb Walsh cites a similar item in peasant Spanish cookery, but it is not known if this version is ancestral to the dish eaten in Texas today. The traditional Mexican main-course dish chilaquiles is similar to migas in some respects. --Bchan 05:15, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
