Got some leftover tortillas lying around? The obvious choice would to be make a deluxe migas for breakfast. Tortilla fried with some eggs, hot sauce and pico de Gallo or salsa and piled high with toppings. Breakfast can’t get any better than this.

It’s also something that I believe people new to cooking tend to cook. Hey, it’s easy! And since I’ve been trying to teach my boyfriend how to cook.
