"So much Tex-Mex food calls for lots of oil and high fat foods. This was a recipe that I found on a pack of corn tortillas. I adjusted the recipe and this is the end result. Hope you enjoy! This recipe was submitted to TOH and was published in the 2009 version of The Best of County Cooking. The original recipe was titled Migas Lite but TOH changed the name to Tex-Mex Scramble and I kinda like it."
