In this preview from the Eater cookbook, iconic Austin taco truck Veracruz All Natural shares the recipe for a one-pan take on its famous migas taco
This is an excerpt from Eater’s debut cookbook, focusing on one of the finest tacos in the entire country, care of Veracruz All Natural in Austin.
Sisters and Veracruz co-owners Maritza and Reyna Vazquez run a veritable breakfast-taco empire in Austin, but they began with a much humbler vision, serving fresh juices and smoothies and snacks. Next came tacos; and those tacos? Those tacos are some of Austin’s finest.
The Veracruz migas taco may well be the single most recommended food from across the Eater universe. You’d be hard-pressed to find an Eater staffer in or out of Austin who wouldn’t rave about the special alchemy that comes from combining pan-fried tortilla strips, eggs, and avocado. To put it plainly: We love it, and we think you will, too.
Here, Reyna offers up a recipe to do everything in one pan. And, in the cookbook, you can get a recipe for a Veracruz smoothie, too.
