What is the egg fast for 5 days?

An egg fast is a short-term, restrictive ketogenic diet that includes mainly eggs, cheese, and butter or another fat source. It lasts three to five days and may aid short-term weight loss.

Over the past 14 years of our low carb life, the Fluffys, of Fluffy Chix Cook, have systematically set out to recreate low carb versions of former high carb crushes. We’ve decarbified everything from Chicken and Dumplings to Psylli Pasta and even our latest,No Wonder Bread (coming soon to a book near you). But we really don’t know why we waited so long to decarbify Migas, one of the Fluffys’ major Tex-Mexbreakfast crushes. It’s really not that difficult to morph Migasinto a delicious and nutritious, low carb keto dish!

For those of you who are not chiliheads or Tex-Mex T-Rexes, Migas are most likely a Mexican or New Mexican variation of the classic dish, Chilaquiles; a regional dish from Mexico (and maybe even Central America), popularized by Austinites. They could very well be the national dish of Austin! True chilaquiles (pronounced chile-kee-lays) were nothing more than crispy (stale) tortilla pieces simmered in a sauce and sometimes topped with a bit of cheese, or a little egg or meat. It was a way for smart Mexican mamas to extend the meal to feed more mouths.

Over time, Chilaquiles became a dish served at any meal and are a true comfort food: lots of savory sauces from white sauce, to green sauce and beyond—to red chile sauce; gooey gobs of molten cheese; chicken, pork, shrimp and crab, you name it! And most are topped with sour cream and sometimes, avocado.

Migas are a compilation of the above gooey ingredients with less sauci-tude. Many will argue that Migas are not descended from chilaquiles, but are rather descended from a Spanish dish called Migas, brought to Mexico via conquistadors. Spanish migas were bits of stale bread sautéed with onion in hot oil and topped with bits of meats or cheese. The Mexicans morphed it to use bits of torn up stale tortillas. And the Austinite Tex-Mex aficionados, threw a wad of cheese into them, pimped them out with more protein ingredients and upped the egg content. They also started using stale tortilla chips. (Lots of “bits” floating around this thread…apologies.)

Regardless of origin one thing is sure: migas rock and Fluffy Chix love them. And now, we can enjoy them as legal low carb keto and gluten free meals, breakfast through dinner. Thanks to Lo Lo Psylli Wraps nuked in the microwave until crispy, the tortilla bite remains: part chewy and part crispy.

We even claim this dish in the name of Egg Fasts! It only has 3g of total carbs per serving and only 1g of carbs comes from the Lo Lo Wrap and 1g of carb comes from the salsa. The other comes from the egg and cheese. Because we’re not purists, we claim it!

Hope you will try Migas and then tell us all about it in the comments! Feel free to garnish at will. Add sour cream, avocado, any meats. You can even sautéed Pico de Gallo, salsa (red or green), or onions and chiles. You can make it as easy or complex as you want!

Notes

Migas are another item we appropriated from Mexico. Chilaquiles are a Mexican dish featuring softly fried corn tortillas, half way crispy, half way chewy. Then they drench them in sauce or salsa (usually tomatillo sauce) and fry in hot oil, then top with melted cheese and serve with fried eggs.
Migas are our Tex-Mex salute. I first enjoyed these in a little restaurant on 2nd and Congress, called Las Manitas, in Austin, during my college days—nearly a million years ago. They've been a staple ever since!
Serving Ideas Serve with lots of hot coffee!
