In the same pan, sauté chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic until soft, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the mashed plantains to the sautéed vegetables and mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and season with salt and pepper.

Pour the eggs over the plantain mixture and stir gently until eggs are set, about 3-5 minutes.

Serve warm, garnished with avocado and tomato slices.
