This tasty dish, brimming with lively southwestern flavors, is a vegan version of a traditional southwestern egg dish. It’s known as migas, a word that literally means “crumbs” in Spanish, in this case referring to bits of tortilla. In the original recipe, the tortilla pieces are scrambled with eggs; this version replaces eggs with tofu. This can be served for a leisurely weekend brunch, but it’s also nice as an easy dinner. Serve with a colorful salad and simple bean dish like Refried Pinto Beans or Garlicky Skillet Black Beans. Photos by Evan Atlas.
