Absolutely delicious! 😍🤤
I did tweak the recipe a bit to better match Costa Rican ingredients and preparation, rather than the Mexican version.

At home, we serve it with mashed potatoes and steamed white rice.

INGREDIENTS.
Finely chop the culantro.
2

Wash the tomatoes.
Score an X on the bottom of each tomato and cook them in boiling water over high heat until the skins start to peel away.
Drain the water and remove the skins (be careful not to burn yourself).
3

Blend the tomatoes, sweet pepper, and garlic together.
Pour the blended mixture into a pot over medium heat.
Add the tomato paste, chicken bouillon, and culantro. Stir to combine and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
If needed, add more salt or water to adjust the seasoning or consistency.
4

Add the eggs one at a time, making sure they are spaced apart so they don't stick together.
Continue cooking for 4-7 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs cooked.
