Huevos Motuleños

Description

Huevos motuleños is a popular Mexican dish categorized by many as a true representative of comfort food at its best. The dish, named after a Yucatan town, consists of crispy tostadas topped with eggs, plantains, roasted tomatoes, and beans, combining both Mayan and Caribbean flavors in one plate. It is believed that the dish was invented by a Lebanese restaurant owner named Jorge Siqueff Febels when he invited too many guests in his restaurant. As there were not enough bowls and plates, he served all of the side dishes and accompaniments on top of tostadas and eggs, and huevos motuleños was born (and instantly loved). Today, there are a number of variations on the dish with added green peas, lime wedges, salsa, or ham.
