Dominican Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes (Revoltillo de Huevos con Tomates)
This is another classic Dominican recipe I grew up devouring. Soooooo good words can’t explain. I have made it many times before, but my mom was visiting me in AZ after a long time of not seeing her due to the pandemic. I felt that I just had to share this recipe made by her and not by me. Why? because I feel like anything she makes is pure gold. She’s got that magic touch. She is who taught me to cook. She is the base of all I know. If she’s around, who cares what I have to cook. Let’s showcase her!
One thing I must highlight is that you can use any other veggies to make this your own because no matter what, it will taste delicious. Especially when it is made with love. Wink, wink!
All that mushy stuff being said, here we go! Let’s get this Revoltillo started!!!
