Steps:

• For the pulled chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the chicken with the ancho chile powder, salt and pepper. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a medium high-sided ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown. Add the chicken broth and barbecue sauce, bring to simmer, cover and cook in the oven until fork-tender, about 1 hour.
• Remove the chicken from the pan, loosely cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Reduce the cooking liquid in the pan over medium-high heat until about 1/2 cup remains. Shred the chicken with a fork into bite-size pieces. Return the chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the mixture. Reserve.

• For the tortillas: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat the oil in a medium high-sided saute pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Fry the 1/2-inch tortilla strips in batches, until just crisp, 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to one side of the prepared baking sheet and season with salt.

• Place bread in a large bowl and sprinkle with enough water to moisten bread.
• Sprinkle with salt and stir.
• Sprinkle with paprika and stir.
• Cover with damp cloth and leave to sit overnight.
• The next morning heat the olive oil in a deep skillet, over medium heat.
• Cut the garlic cloves in half and throw in the oil until lightly brown, then discard.
• Add the crumbled chorizo, ham and bacon, cook until almost done.
• Add the cubed bread with its seasoning.
• Toss the bread so that it thoroughly soaks up the oil and begins to crisp on the outside.
• The bread will turn red from the paprika, this is good.
• You want the bread to be crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. (This is the secret to good migas!).

MIGAS A LA MEXICANA

Steps:

• 1. In a non-stick frying pan, heat oil to med-high. Tear corn tortillas into small/bite sized pieces. Place in hot oil, stir often. Dice up your serrano pepper as small as you can make it, and add the pepper and diced onion. (You may use the entire serrano pepper, but until you know how much hot pepper you can eat, I recommend you use only half of the pepper...and add more if you decide you want it the next time. Pour out most of the oil, leaving just enough to finish cooking it.
• 2. Add the diced tomatoes and return to the heat, stirring until well blended and the tomatoes are cooked through. Add beaten eggs and scramble together until the eggs are cooked through.
• 3. Serve hot with some seasoned refried beans on the side and fresh tortillas (corn or flour-your preference)... You can add your favorite salsa to it or leave it as-is. Salt & pepper to taste. You will be amazed how good this is! You can "cheat" a little and use store-bought tortilla chips, but the regular corn tortillas have a more authentic flavor, and store-bought chips often have too much salt. To explain the difference between 'regular Migas' and "a la Mexicana", regular Migas are prepared with fried tortilla pieces, a little bit of onion and eggs all scrambled together. "A la Mexicana" means "Mexican style", with everything thrown in...the onions, pepper, & tomatoes. "Buen Probecho, Y'all"!!
