Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers and slides quickly when you tilt the pan, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add the bread cubes in a single layer across the bottom of the skillet and cook, stirring every 15 seconds, until golden brown and crispy all over, about 4 minutes total. They should look the color of warm honey.

  3. Step 3

    Push the bread cubes to the sides of the skillet, creating a small empty space in the center.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the chorizo rounds into the empty center and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is cooked through and has released its oil, about 3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Add the torn ham pieces to the skillet and toss everything together—bread, chorizo, and ham—until evenly mixed, about 1 minute.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle 0.25 teaspoon salt and 0.125 teaspoon pepper over the mixture and toss once more until evenly distributed.

  7. Step 7

    Transfer the migas to a serving plate or bowl immediately while still hot and crispy.
