Migas, which means “crumbs” in Spanish, is a Tex-Mex egg dish that is well-known throughout the Southwest.  This version can be made with tortilla chips, but if you have some stale corn tortillas, it’s a great way to use them up.  The dish makes for a tasty, easy brunch that needs only fruit, avacado slices or guacamole and fresh warm tortillas on the side. (If using corn chips or tortillas this dish is gluten free.)
