How to up-level Tex-Mex Migas:

I used crushed leftover tortilla chips in this recipe because we almost always have some on hand, and its a great way to use them up without me eating 2 entire avocados worth of guacamole while I watch Game of Thrones (stress eating at its finest). BUT if you have the extra time and the desire, you definitely need to use corn tortillas and fry them up yourself! Cut them into strips and give them a quick fry in a skillet. It’s amazing, and worth the extra time.
