MIGAS con HUEVO Recipe | One of the BEST Mexican Restaurant Breakfasts 

I worked in Crane Texas for a few years back in the 70's and early 80's and where I met my late wife. I miss the Pecos melons and my wife. Probably the very best in the country. Thanks for bringing back good memories mi amigo. I make migas quite often.

So Cal born & raised, never been to Texas but I grew up on migas & carne gisada. Mom was from Alice TX & Dad was from Donna. My wife is from Italy & she'll often ask me to make migas for her, she's hooked. Thanks Arnie for the awesome content...I can't make migas as good as my mom or grandma lol

I was born on a ranch 40 miles south of Sonora in '71. There is no taco blasphemy in my opinion. There's what you can eat off a truck bed or a 5020 so you stop being hungry and then there's what you eat at the dinner table. If I got migas and I need to keep working, then shovel that greatness into a flour torilla!

Our TEXMEX recipes are our favorite and I love that you are sharing how you both prefer your MIGAS at home. There's no way we aren't moving back to South Texas soon. The West Coast makes nothing as good as true TEXMEX for sure brother. Haters gonna hate. But that's truth!

As a Cajun, the highest compliment that I can pay this gentleman, is that I would like to cook with him.

I'm from McAllen, and I have been making and eating (and loving) migas since I learned to cook. I recently visited a vegetarian restaurant in Frederick, MD called Cafe Nola, and imagine my surprise when I saw migas on the menu. I had to try them, and I have to say, when I took that first bite, I knew I was eating some of the best migas I ever had. What a pleasant surprise. It made my day.

Migas takes me back to my childhood. The woman that took care of me as a child used to make it. It's so good. Right now I'm actually making the chili con carne recipe from Tasting History using some beef from a Zebu my friend killed.

You can tell Arnie loves cooking for/and taking care of his love. You can just tell.

Man....migas! I always thought it was just a local chicano breakfast that no one else ate but Mexicans in our town Saginaw, MI. Then I grew up a little more and realized it was a huge Texas thing. And we have a huge from Texas origin there. So, we eat that delicious Tex-Mex style Mexican food that blows a lot of other Mexican food away flavor wise and we like it saucy and cheesy there too! My wife's Puerto Rican and I changed her life breakfast wise when we introduced her to Migas con salsa and Sunday morning Barbacoa tacos with sliced avacado! Got the side eye on a taco for breakfast.....till that first bite! Lol! Love the throwback breakfast!

As a Mercedes girl…. I didn’t discover migas until I moved to Austin (La Reyna). One of my all-time favorite dishes. Then moving on to Arizona found many different influences on Mexican food (New Mexico, Mexico & Native American). Arnie you are right…. ain’t no wrong way. It’s what you want & how you like it. Regionality plays a huge role in cuisine. As does necessity. Yep…so if I wanted migas….it was DIY. And yes, one day I made a taco filled with migas. Never knew anyone else who did so. Necessity. Now back in Texas (north) my only complaint is lack of fresh green chiles. Road trip to New Mexico for Hatch & Colorado for pueblos. Love your channel!

Mexican/Tex-Mex is so localized. I grew up in San Antonio and have roots in South-Central Texas. The migas I learned to make are done in one pan. Corn tortillas cut or torn up in to prices, cooked in butter, before they get crispy and then add the eggs.

" I don't measure oil temperature, I can just tell when is ready " ... Arnie is real chef . I too eyeball when cooking, mistakes sometimes produce incredible results

"I don't understand how people can eat tortilla with tortilla". Bro. Do we have the same father?

Adding chili con queso to your migas will take them to another level!

My grandma always called it migas so I did too. Everybody tells me it's chilaquillas. I still call it migas!!!! Love ur content man!!!!

Thank you for this easy to follow recipe. I made this for my family and it was a big hit. My son who never eats new food, didn't hesitate and he loved it. The cheese made it extra yummy. 😋

My all time favorite Mexican food breakfast! If I could eat it every day I would. I’m 66 and I ate it for the first time 3 years ago. I feel so cheated that I didn’t know about this delicious meal before then. Now I have to make me some tomorrow morning. And yes, the homemade flour tortilla is a must have with these! And of course, your delicious breakfast salsa.

I eat migas ( crunchy) with flour tortillas all the time lol. I like to throw in the miga chips in 1st then the raw egg. This allows the egg to stick to the migas. Cooked in high heat and constantly folding the ingredients together. This way, when you eat it you always have eggs with the tmigas and they don't separate. So every bite has egg.

My Grandma would fry the tortillas in bacon grease, just enough for 2-3 servings. I think I'll make some for supper tonight.

If I could like this video thousand times I would. I love this video because I did the same thing when I was a kid. My dad side of the family is Mexican so I can remember either going to Mexico or having breakfast at home we would make eggs. I would cut up the corn tortillas and fry them first and it made the best breakfast ever. Bringing back good memories man!!!😊

You are one of my favorites on RU-vid. Love your enthusiasm! One thing I think would be cool is if you could put ingredients or recipe in the description? Would be easier for us to follow your recipes after watching. Other than that thank you!

Thank you thank you so much for all these videos ❤ I remember my bio dad making this amazing food all the time in New Mexico before he and my mom separated when I was 3 it was a part of his culture when he was young (my grandparents on his side were Mexican immigrants rip to them) I am now having to learn how to cook this wonderful food from mine and his childhood on my own my mom and grandma are white and really don’t know how to make Mexican food like he did and I haven’t seen him in person visit since I was 6 we call but it’s hard to teach your daughter to cook over video call I live in Wyoming and him in New Mexico and I hope next time I visit my moms sister down there I can see him❤️💔

I used to have no idea that migas were such a localized food. It was only when I moved away that I realized what a hidden gem this dish is. I still make it for my family, and love to throw in whatever leftovers I have in my fridge. I usually cheat and just use bagged tortilla chips. It's a great way to use up the little bits at the bottom of the bag.

Growing up my mom made them all the time so delicious. Now I make it for my family and my sons love it. So the next generation is still loving them!!!❤️

I absolutely love your channel. I can't imagine how good the food is at your family cookouts.

Those HEB Tortillas are delicious, especially the butter ones.. 🤤🤤🤤

I had the same reaction the first time I had a migas taco. Tortilla in tortillas??? But then the first time I had a migas taco from Austin's Veracruz, it all made sense....

Now I know after all the years. The Mexicans that work for me for years, others in there family have the Taco trucks where we worked. Fed us breakfast and lunch. I remember eating that as a taco. So good. I'm making it tomorrow morning but with some leftovers pork chops.

This is such a crazy coincidence for me! I've been on a strict diet for two weeks and have just been eating eggs with homemade salsas for dinner. Just this Monday I started getting tired of the eggs because there is no texture, so I cut up some corn tortillas and put them in the air fryer to crisp them up, then I mixed them in with the eggs as they were cooking, and I've been doing that all week. I never even knew that was a thing until I saw this! 😁

These look delicious! Growing up my dad used to make Migas with Julio’s chips to add an extra punch. Maybe not as traditional but always amazing

Mr Arnie migas is my go to breakfast dish and Im born and raised in Pecos Texas so cool that you grew up In pecos on a farm

My son (19) loves it in a flower tortilla.

Now THAT is a breakfast taco. Nothing better. 🎉

Very nice meal. Nice recipe. Nothing beats a seasoned iron skillet. By the way. Mine are over a 150 years old. My great grandmothers. From Poland. My family Mexican, Cherokee, and European. Me, a kitchen manager, in a mexican restaurant for awhile. I can make masa flour tortillas, by hand. Better than store bought. I add a little sprinkle of sugar. Just a difference. Learned that over 50 years ago.

Just found your channel and man I love it! I love the relationship you and your wife have. I hope to have that with my wife when we are your age. Thank you and keep cooking mi amigo!!

Arnie! That looks freaking FANTASTIC!!!! Love the Mexican spoon with just scrambled egg dishes and a side of salsa. Thank you for your recipes!!

I always order my migas con huevos with chorizo and cheese with flour tortillas. Definitely my #1 goto!

Hi Arnie! My husband and I love your videos! Awesome to hear you were from Pecos. We were raised in Ft. Stockton and of course love Pecos cantaloupe!

I have made a few Batches of your beans…. Oh man soooo good. This last batch I added a bit more hickory bacon and added a small amount of diced carrots. BAM. Best bean & bacon soup ever. Thank you very much sir.

hahah yes I do.. so delish.. i remember my dad making migas.. if we did not have corn tortillas he would use his favorite FRITOS.. omg.. I make it like that too because my husband loves Fritos..lol.. but I like it with fried corn tortillas, onion, tomato and jalapenos in a homemade flour tortilla..

Tortilla in Tortilla is the best. Love Migas. Easy to make. 🇲🇽🌮🤠 Love your videos. Coming from Houston, Texas.

I just ate lunch before watching this video, and I am literally hungry again! I know what I'm making for breakfast this Sunday.

Arnie that looked delicious. Crazy good in fact! Thanks for sharing Sir !

That looks delicious I love beans and migas👍😀I use too make migas a lot when my son was little because it was easy and cheap to make now I gotta make some with refried beans😀

Loved pecos cantaloupes. They were the best! Great recipe. I love migas from torchies.

Country style cooking is awesome. That looks great. Cheers, Arnie! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

Arnie thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and culture, it really adds to the recipe.

Pecos Texas, my buddy I grew up with his parents lived there and he goes back each year in Sept for some hunting. I have never been there but it was fun to hear you say you grew up there. I bet your families know each other. I will argue that we have some of the best tacos in EAST TEXAS hahaha, Love it and just messing with you sir. Keep up the great videos, I love your channel and I find inspiration watching you and your channel. I can't get enough of great food. Have a blessed week. Dale

I love your videos so much that I come back and rewatch them multiple times, even just for background noise. Thanks for sharing your recipes~!

Arnie I also taught my wife how to cook 😂 they will never accept it, but hey, maybe that’s why they love us when we cook for them.

I've been working the oilfields in Southwest Texas for a few years now and LOVE the Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. When I go back home to Missouri, I like to try to recreate the dishes I've tried. Your channel popped up on my feed and I immediately subscribed. Awesome Migas recipe. In fact, gonna do that for supper tonight. Thanks.

I cut up my corn tortsfry them with a little cooking oil in a non stick pan with a little onion and when I see good color on the torts I add the egg because I want the egg to stick to as much of the torts as possible. I also use cheese sometimes but a mexican blend and then normally eat papas fritas with them.

Ooooo I've never deep fried the tortillas like that for migas, just chilaquiles. I usually shallow fry them in a skillet with onions until browned and then scramble the eggs in. I'll have to try this method too!

I make breakfast nachos with basically those same exact ingredients ! I like to add some fried chorizo as well. Yummm

I recently tried Migas... I used 2 tortillas, just ripped w hands, fried in frying pan w some oil & butter... Then added eggs abd scrambled em in, added shredded cheese & Verde sauce.. Was freaking delicious.

Tex-mex food is the best. I may be biased since I’m from Texas but I’ve traveled many states and over many oceans and nothing beats the delicious fusion of Texas and Mexico ❤❤❤❤

😋 so good Asi Es Como Mi Mom Hace Los Desayunos.. Tortillitas Con Huevo..💯👌🏻

Love the personal stories you add! Looks delicious!

Just got your OG blend. It’s amazing! The smell alone sold me. It’s perfect!

Your videos and your food are an inspiration.. thanks for sharing them with us!!!

Yes brother! From one west texan to another!! Loved this recipe ❤

Good job. My favorite breakfast. The frijoles....to die for ❤

Hey der! Watching you fry the migas reminded me of a recipe my mother used to make: Texas Frito pie. I didn't realize that Frito chips are basically migas! Good because the price of chips is cray cray these days! Writing this from Flathead Lake, Montana but I will be back in Texas for the winter! Cheers and have a great day and try and stay cool in Texas! Whew too hot for me in the summer!

Arnie, I’m with you’d dad; I can’t imagine eating tortillas on a tortilla-doesn’t make sense! The beans look delicious, though! Do you have a cookbook showcasing all your delicious recipes? I would definitely buy one!

If i were sitting at your table my mouth would be watering and I'd be rubbing my hands together like, "This is gonna be DELICIOUS! 😋

Best thing about Texas is MIGAS!! Love your channel Arnie!

When we get our bushels of roasted green chili, we have a big gathering to peel and freeze the peppers for year round access. Migas with fresh roasted Mirasol peppers onion and eggs and calabasitas with zuchinni corn and peppers. Fine eating on those days.

So much fun to watch! Love your videos and recipes!!

Arnie I eat the migas in flour tortillas….best ever con salsita papa. Saludos my friend desde Eagle Pass, TX.

Arnie I'd love to see your take on a Mexican street corn recipe as a side dish.

Mexican here; I do migas on a flour tortilla! Salsa, pickled onions, jalapenos and a bit or crema!

Thanks for the great memories my mom use to make migas for us every weekend and I have continued that with my sons and they absolutely love

i love the way you always emphasise doing what you prefer with the ingredients! 😁

No manches! I've been making this for over 30 years. First time I had it was on the rachito as a kid using old tortillas and fresh eggs. I didn't know this dish had a name until recently. When I make it, I let some of the tortillas be limp so they better absorb the egg. I also add the tortillas at the very beginning, turning everything off when it's 3/4 done. I then add cheese, diced onions, salsa, crema and cover it for about 10 mins so the cheese melts and the eggs just cook. I'll have to try it as a burrito, I'm sure its fire!

I Love migas your way most of the time and with chorizo egg and cheese as well so delicious!

Your migas taco reminds me when I was a teenager working at Don Carlos Mexican restaurant in Corpus waaay back in the early 90s. Whatever fits in a taco is fare game! 😂

This looks amazing. Mexican food is sooo good. You make the best foods. This is on my wife’s and my list to make.😋

Yes! Finally real south TX migas a la mexicana! Why would anyone order anything other than a fresh maiz tortilla? Tortilla with tortilla.. You forgot the smooth verde salsa at the end.. your mama is AMAZING best tacos in the world and that is so true!

I FREAKING LOVE THIS GUY. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN TEXAS, BRINGS BACK MANY MEMORIES.

Oh yea, Pecos Texas! I remember the haydays of all the farming in the Pecos, Barstow, and Coyanosa Tx areas!

Guilty as charge! Always eat my migas with tortilla de harina y una saliste 🔥

This channel is awesome!! Thanks for the recipes my man!!!!

From the south of Texas when we go on long drives those tacos are the number one for us!!

I can't wait to try this! Thank you!

I grow up eating Miagas to this day I’m 65 I make them and my hubby love it

Now that is what I'm talking about. Thank you for sharing your video with us. God bless from west Texas.

Looks so good! I'll have to make some for my hubby! Thanks for the demonstration.

Crystal City, TX native here….but I live in Kansas City, MO… 🤤🤤🤤 keep bringing these videos coming, my Brother. 🤘🏼

My family moved to California’s Central Valley from south Texas in the 60’s to work the fields. They brought tex mex cuisine with them so I grew up eating migas every Sunday morning. I was shocked when most of my other Mexican friends whose family had either came from Mexico or had always been in California didn’t know what they were. This video brought back a lot of happy childhood memories for me thank you.

I absolutely love your south texas vibe brother!! Keep on reppin 956 ur doing phenomenal

Arnie, don't know if you've done this one yet...? Milanesa de res con blanquillos con llema. 2 sunny-side-up eggs, with a breaded Mexican chicken fried steak. Its a favorite in Nuevo Leon along with Machacado con huevo. Also show folks how a simple guacamole doesn't need to have a damn vegetable salad in it to be delicious. Just 1 Serrano chile in the molcajete, ground-up, then the avocado. Sal, and a squeeze of fresh lime.

Glad I found this channel! Great recipes!

oh yeah, migas en tortilla de harina...tortilla en tortilla! orale!

Arnie you always make me so hungry 🤤 That looks so delicious!

I didn't know these were called migas. My mom always made them for breakfast whenever we had some left over tortillas. I might be biased here too but Salvadorian tortillas are where its at!

Saludos, desde Pecos Tx here! 🙋‍♂️I will probably having migas for breakfast now 😅

Love your shows! Wonderful recipes very well presented!

Thanks for the video. Migas breakfast of champions.👍

Great taste mr Arnie !! Barbacoa and menudo is my favorite.. along with papas con chorizo and a fried egg for breakfast 🔥🤘🏼

Migas is my favorite breakfast dish. I can't wait to try out this recipe although I will combine the two. I will cook them the first way but then eat them in a taco with cheese!
