Steps:
- Cut the corn tortillas into small squares, about 1½ in. wide. You can use a knife or a pair of kitchen scissors to cut them.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Once it is hot, place the tortilla pieces in the oil and fry them until they are golden brown. Make sure to use a frying pan that is large enough, in order to not overcrowd the pan. Stir and turn the tortilla pieces as needed until they acquire a golden-brown color. This step will take about 6 minutes.
- Return the frying pan to the stove and place it over medium heat. Add the chopped white onion and lightly fry it for a few seconds, then stir in the chopped serrano pepper. Keep cooking for about 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped tomato and cook for about 3 more minutes, then add the eggs. Let the eggs start to cook without stirring them yet.
- Once the egg whites start to look cooked around the edges, gently stir the eggs. Once you see the egg yolks start to cook, stir in the tortilla chips, season with salt, and gently mix them together with the eggs. When the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the frying pan from the heat. The tortillas should still be crispy by the time you serve your migas. Do not wait until the eggs are cooked to add the tortilla chips. Remember that the eggs will keep cooking even after you remove the frying pan from the heat.

Steps:
- Cut or tear the bread into small pieces. Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the bread pieces and toss to coat. Keep stirring until the bread is lightly golden (3-4 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and allow to cool.
- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in the same frying pan. Add the onions, garlic and peppers and stir until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add the ham, chorizo and paprika and continue to cook on medium high until lightly browned, 10 minutes. Sprinkle with half the bread pieces and stir through. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Heat the remaining oil in a clean frying pan and when hot, crack the 4 eggs into the pan. Scoop hot oil over the eggs so the outer edges become crispy while the inner yolk is still liquidy and soft.
- Remove eggs and drain the oil off.
- To serve, divide the remaining breadcrumb mixture among 4 serving bowls, top with the warm ham mixture and top this with the fried egg.
