Mexican Huevos Motulenos Recipe (Eggs With Tortillas, Beans, Ham, and Vegetables)
How to Make an Easy Egg Recipe
The regional Mexican cuisine culinary series continues with Chef Carlos Capistrans amazing version of Huevos Motulenos from the Lol-Ha Restaurant. Watch the video below to see how we make this delicious and satisfying breakfast together in Akumal, Mexico. It features peas as a topper. Take off cheese if you are dairy-free. Absolutely delicious!!!!
Enjoy this dish – it costs under $10 to prepare for a family of four and I plan to prepare it when the peas are plucked fresh from the garden in the spring.
Happy Breakfast!

*Note – Because the FTC requires it, I am noting that the Mayan Riviera Tourism, Hotel Akumal Caribe, Villa Akumal, and Akumal Guide Mexicarte sponsored the trip back in 2011. We had a great time making the huevos motulenos recipe. I was not told what to document or how to document the experience, we were simply asked to attend and film – anything expressed in posts related to the activities is my own opinion expressed from my own personal experience.
