Unless you grew up in the Southwest or visit there often, you might be hearing of migas for the first time. Just think of them as the best scrambled eggs ever. The secret ingredient is corn tortillas. They really make my migas tacos special! —Stephen Exel, Des Moines, Iowa

Technically any taco can be a breakfast taco if you believe in yourself, but it’s hard to top one filled with scrambled eggs and soft bits of corn tortilla. Similar to chilaquiles in taco form, this version delivers the perfect balance of comfort and crunch without forcing you to choose between corn or flour tortillas before your first cup of coffee.
New Year’s Brunch FAQWhat do I serve for New Year’s brunch?
The best dishes for a New Year’s Day brunch combine feel-good comfort food with just the right mix of indulgence, ease and a little something extra. Think classic dishes elevated with festive twists, like a Dutch baby topped with berries or cheese and meat, a veggie-packed strata or make-ahead breakfast casseroles. Add a protein-rich option, like creamy baked eggs or homemade sausage, for a hearty touch.
Round things out with something sweet and decadent, such as orange-scented cinnamon rolls, pecan French toast, cinnamon fruit biscuits or a puffy German pancake. And don’t forget the brunch cocktails. Sparkling peach bellinis and cranberry mimosas will be an effortless success, while a warming dirty chai espresso martini adds a caffeinated, boozy kick to the menu.
What foods are traditionally eaten on New Year’s Day?
While this collection includes plenty of festive brunch ideas, there are many symbolic foods that invite luck, prosperity and a fresh start for the year ahead. Legumes like black-eyed peas or lentils represent coins and, therefore, abundance. Long noodles symbolize longevity in many Asian traditions. Leafy greens, such as collards, kale and cabbage, are thought to bring financial fortune, thanks to their green color. Because pigs root forward, pork signifies progress and momentum in the year to come.
What easy bunch recipes can I make ahead for New Year’s Day?
This roundup includes various sweet and savory make-ahead casseroles that can be assembled in advance and baked on New Year’s Day. Quiche can be fully baked the day before and refrigerated, so you just have to slice and serve it. Even breakfast cocktails can be prepared by mixing the juices ahead of time so that come morning, you just pop the bubbly and pour.
