Migas With Scrambled Eggs, Tortilla Chips, & Chiles

The Tex-Mex version of migas—scrambled eggs cooked with chile peppers, onion, and tortilla chips, then served on tortillas with hot sauce—is a hangover killer, but even if you haven't overindulged, it's still a killer breakfast option.

Doritos Migas With Pepper Jack, Tomatoes, and Jalapeño

There are days when you wake up and say, I'm going to painstakingly make the best damn Tex-Mex migas I possibly can. And then there are days when you pry yourself from bed, feel your head swirl and split as you sit up, and remember those last two rounds of shots you got roped into—after you had already had what was supposed to be your last drink. On those days, you need these quick and easy Doritos migas. Actually, you might need these on all days.

Chorizo and Egg Chilaquiles With Salsa Verde

Tortilla chips don't get enough respect. Most often bought in bag form and eaten as a snack, their potential to form part of a tasty meal is overlooked. Combine home-fried chips, salsa verde, spicy chorizo, and eggs, then serve it up with fresh radishes and vinegary pickled onions, and you have yourself a chilaquiles dish that'll make you think twice the next time you're tempted in the snack aisle.

Small Plates: 4 Spanish Tapas That Use Only 4 Ingredients Each

Intended as a cheap way to draw customers into drinking establishments, the most traditional tapas are easy to make, inexpensive, and go perfectly with booze.

They're guaranteed to get the mixers mixing and the shakers shaking.

Chorizo and Halloumi Pancakes With Fried Eggs

I have a good friend who often has the kind of ideas that only the intentional chemical expansion of the mind can bring about. That's where the idea of putting halloumi—the squeaky, salty, fry-able cheese from Cyprus—into American-style pancakes came about, and it was such a genius idea that I decided to run with it and make it my own. Adding some crisp chorizo and a fried egg makes these into pancakes that are worthy of a 2 a.m. binge or an elegant Sunday morning cocktail brunch.

Crispy Potato, Chorizo, and Green Chili Hash With Avocado and Eggs

Ultra-crisp potatoes fried in chorizo fat with chunks of chorizo, seared green chilies, and scallions, all topped with baked eggs, avocado, and cilantro. It's a heck of a way to start the day.

Mexican Breakfast Tacos (Chorizo and Egg)

Tacos filled with Mexican eggs and chorizo. Packed with flavour and a kick of chili. Sensational hangover cure!

A Trio of Pinchos: Basque Country Favorites

Pinchos, or pintxos, are a Spanish snack related to tapas, but usually served on bread and skewered with toothpicks to keep the toppings on the bread (and to keep track of how many one’s eaten as the toothpicks pile up)

Vegan Migas (Mexican-Style Fried Tortillas With Tofu)

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.

Spanish Tortilla with Broccoli, Chorizo, and Onion

Spanish-style tortilla does not have to be made with potatoes. This broccoli-based version has all the creamy texture of the original, with the grassy, nutty, flavor of broccoli.
