Migas With Fresh Tortillas

Submitted by Witch Doctor

"In this dish, you are limited only by your imagination. You have a world of ingredients to choose from. In addition to the ingredients called for in this recipe, some additional possibilities for enhancing your migas are: Crispy cooked and crumbled bacon; Chopped ham; Crumbled chorizo (Browned before you add the eggs); Cooked, shredded chicken or turkey; Grated or diced potatoes (sauteed until tender before adding the eggs; Poblano chiles; Green Bell pepper; Your favorite hot sauce; Green onion; Cayenne pepper (a dash or so); Minced garlic. As long as your dish contains the requisite tortillas, you will still have migas. Of course, if you omit the tortillas, you'll still have a delicious, satisfying dish, but you won't have Migas."
