Chop some tomatoes, preferably cherry tomatoes, into small pieces.

Heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until the onion is transparent.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and let them soften.

In a separate pot, heat water and add three tablespoons of mote to warm it up.

Once the mote is warmed, drain it and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.

Season the mote mixture with salt to taste.

Create a small well in the center of the mote mixture and crack the eggs into it.

Lower the heat and scramble the eggs gently with the mote mixture until cooked through.

Grate cheese and add it to the mixture, stirring to combine.
