Quick Traditional Migas Recipe

Make migas with this budget-friendly recipe that comes together quickly. It was my husband’s favourite breakfast while growing up in a Mexican household, but we now enjoy this dish at any time of day. Even the children regularly ask for another helping. I occasionally include hot pepper sauce or omelette-style fillings, although my husband likes his migas prepared the traditional way.
