For diners who shun waffles, pancakes and other saccharine starters, there are few more satisfying brunch options than savory-cheesy migas. Less refined than its Spanish or Portuguese counterpart -- which frugally pairs olive oil with leftover bread and eggs -- the Tex-Mex version piles scrambled eggs high with tortilla chips, salsa and cheese, even tossing in jalapenos, red onions, black beans, bacon, chorizo and more in kitchen-sink versions.
Mark Bittman waxes poetic about the carb-y grub, which takes its name from the Spanish word for "crumbs," in his Bitten column, but our preferred source for the topic -- rightfully so -- is the Homesick Texan, who alludes to the "crime" of not ordering the breakfast when in Austin. But if you're not local, experiment at home with our favorite Lone Star state recipe.
