Mexician Hominy and Scramble Eggs or Mote pillo image

En español Mote pillo, also called motepillo, is a dish of hominy fried with scrambled eggs. It is the perfect breakfast or brunch dish. Mote pillo is a typical dish from the highlands or Sierra region in Ecuador. The city of Cuenca (and the whole province of Azuay) claim this dish as their specialty. To me this is really one...

This recipe was good, but not great. The hominy was a bit tough and the eggs were overcooked. I would make it again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.

This recipe was okay. The hominy was a bit bland, but the eggs were fluffy and the salsa was tasty.

I would not recommend this recipe. The hominy was undercooked and the salsa was too spicy.

This recipe is a waste of ingredients. The hominy was gritty and the eggs were dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe is way too complicated. There are too many steps and ingredients, and it's not worth the effort. I would not recommend this recipe.

The ingredient list for this recipe is misleading. It says that you need 1 cup of hominy, but the instructions say to use 2 cups. I ended up having to double the recipe, which was a waste of time and money.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out terrible. The hominy was mushy and the eggs were watery. I don't recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a disaster. The hominy was undercooked and the eggs were rubbery. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this dish was not it. The hominy was bland and the eggs were overcooked. I won't be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies. My kids love the hominy and eggs, and they don't even realize they're eating vegetables.
