Steps:
- Make the pico de gallo: In a bowl, combine onions, tomatoes, cilantro and jalapeño. Squeeze in juice of 1/2 lime and sprinkle with salt. Mix lightly. Season to taste with more minced jalapeño, lime juice and salt. Set aside.
- Make migas: Heat 1/2 inch oil in a skillet and fry tortillas one at a time until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels. Stack together and cut into pieces about 1/2-inch square.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs and half-and-half together. Season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat and cook onions and peppers, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add tortilla chips and mix.
- Reduce heat to low and add egg mixture. Gently fold ingredients together with a spatula, turning as they cook slowly. When eggs are solid but still moist and shiny, fold in cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately, with pico de gallo.

MIGAS II
This was my husband's favorite breakfast growing up in a Mexican household. Now we make it all times of day and even our kids always ask for seconds. Very simple, inexpensive, and quick to make. I sometimes add hot pepper sauce, or ingredients you would like in a omelet, but my husband prefers it the traditional way.

ERIN'S PICO DE GALLO
This is by far the best pico I have ever had. Fresh cilantro and sweetened lime juice are key to making this recipe really delicious. You can find the lime juice in the aisle with margarita mixers and such. This makes a lot to feed a crowd!

MIGAS WITH TORTILLAS AND BEANS
This recipe, brought to The Times in 2004 by Karen Olsson as part of a collection of regional recipes published in The New York Times Magazine, comes from Juan in a Million, in East Austin. To best appreciate this Tex-Mex favorite, she writes, "the procedure is as follows: Smear the tortilla with a spoonful of the beans, pile on the migas, followed by a dollop of salsa, and tell your cardiologist to kiss your widening behind." Follow her advice, or don't. But do garnish it with a bright salsa fresca or pico de gallo, and enjoy.

Tips:
- For fluffy migas, use day-old corn tortillas. Fresh tortillas will be too soft and will break down when cooked.
- If you don't have day-old tortillas, you can stale them by placing them in a warm oven for a few minutes.
- To make your migas extra crispy, cook them in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your migas, such as cooked chorizo, black beans, or diced bell peppers.
- Serve your migas with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
Conclusion:
Migas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With their simple ingredients and easy preparation, they are a great option for busy weeknights or lazy weekends. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give migas a try.
