On weekends, I want something for breakfast that I can really dig into—something that wouldn't feel out of place with a Bloody Mary or a michelada on the side. Enter vigas. That'd be vegan migas (and I'm only a little bit sorry for the terrible wordplay). Migas, the Tex-Mex dish of eggs scrambled with fried tortillas, onions, and chilies, is nearly ideal for veganizing because of the way the eggs are treated.
