In a follow up to my post on the difference between migas and chilaquiles, I offer another option: vegaquiles! Or, I guess you could say vigas...
I try to follow a vegan diet at home, but I say try because it isn't an absolute sort of thing. Rather, a way to eat more veggies and less animal products. I'm not changing the name of this blog to 'Vegan at Home' or anything. It's still about delicious eats, but as I think a lot of people can tell you, the ideas of 'vegan' and 'delicious' are not in contradiction. Take for instance this recipe for vegaquiles...
Idea: Vegaquiles
The basis of this recipe is the wonderful recipe for tofu scramble provided by Post Punk Kitchen and published in Vegan Brunch, one of my favorite cookbooks for a variety of reasons. I made a few subtle changes to the recipe to make it more appropriate for the vegaquiles.
I topped mine with red and green salsa (Christmas style!) and a mix of Daiya cheeses. Delicious way to start a Sunday morning...

- Omit the thyme and use oregano or Mexican oregano.
- Add 1 tsp. each of onion powder and garlic powder to the spice mix.
- Use 4-5 tbsp. of vegetable broth in place of the water. You want a little more liquid for for the vegaquiles to come together.
- Move the scramble to a plate while you fry up the chips; use a new skillet or clean out the scramble skillet well. If you don't, you'll end up with a bunch of burned spices coating your chips.
- Otherwise, proceed with the directions in difference using stale tortilla chips, pico and your favorite salsa. Lucky me, I had leftovers from Rosa's again! How did that happen?
