Critique
Chef: Bright, tortillas soft and cooked all the way through, eggs nice, could cook onion and tomato more. The potatoes were nicely seasoned and crisp outside with soft inside.

Personal/Team: i thought the garnish was too large for the tacos, but overall meal was very good.

Lessons Learned: Our migas recipe came from a blog "Homesick Texan" and the writer clearly describes the joy of migas here.
