• Add the tomatoes and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes to reduce the liquid somewhat.
• Reduce heat to low, add the eggs, salt and pepper and cook, gently stirring the eggs occasionally to scramble them and just long enough to cook them through while keeping them soft.
• Serve with bread or arepas and a slice of fresh cheese.
