Paleo Migas

April 25, 2017 by predominantlypaleo 4 Comments

 

PALEO MIGAS

Growing up in Texas, there are a few things we take seriously when it comes to food. Our seafood needs to be fresh from the Gulf. Our fried chicken needs to be spiced just right. Our biscuits need to be open faced and smothered with gravy. And our Tex-Mex is religion.

After spending the first 18 years of my life in Houston, I moved to Austin for college. And while most kids were figuring out how to do keg stands, I was being indoctrinated into THE morning fare of all breakfasts…. MIGAS.

Migas, the Spanish word for “crumbs,” is a combination of eggs, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cheese, and tortilla chips. I’ve also had them served with extra corn tortillas and chile con queso, but however they’re served (if done well) they’re heaven on Earth. I’m serious. And until now it was sort of something I just gave up because trying to avoid corn (and dairy) makes this dish a little tricky if you know what I mean.

Well thanks to the genius development of Siete Foods Tortilla chips, you can have your migas and eat them too. Even my husband who is native to Ohio, not Texas, was pretty darn pumped when he saw we were having migas for dinner AND celebrated the fact that he didn’t feel crappy afterwards the way corn can make him (and me) feel. And to that I say, Vivas Las Migas!!!!

    I just made this for my husband’s birthday breakfast, and he loved it! So did I. Perfect melody of flavors that reminded me of my favorite Tex-Mex diner in Austin.

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
