Tacos are practically the only food to eat down here in Austin. Well, they’re the only food that really matters – let’s just be real. The first time I had a migas taco, I admit, I was a little confused. My brain was saying, “wait a second, I’m eating a taco with tortillas mixed INTO the filling, but it’s also wrapped in a tortilla…” Say what?? Isn’t that too much tortilla? The answer is no. An emphatic NO.

When asked to bring a breakfast for the day after Thanksgiving with family, I immediately wanted to bring migas. Well, that’s not exactly the most user friendly breakfast for a large gathering, so I started on my quest to make it into a casserole. My first version (which unfortunately was served to family) was just that, a first version. The proportions were a bit off; I put way too many tortilla chips in the bottom and I used chorizo, which isn’t my favorite breakfast meat to begin with. So, this time I nailed the tortilla chip layer and used glorious bacon for my meat. It’s a winner now!
