First of all, it should be noted that you can always change the peppers or tomatoes for a little tuna or another ingredient that you like the most. That said, we preheat the oven to 170º. We chop both the tomatoes, the peppers and the onion. We put them in a frying pan with very little oil. We leave them for a few minutes and remove to mix with the rice that will already be cooked. To this mixture we add a pinch of salt, spices such as oregano and beaten eggs. When everything is well mixed we will have to pour into a baking dish, previously greased with a little oil. We will let it cook for about 25 minutes. But be careful, each oven is different, so you will have to check that the upper part is firm to know that it is done. Once we remove it from the honor, we place the cheese on it. The best thing in this case is that they are slices, but you can also add a little grated cheese. Only with the heat given off by the rice tortilla will the cheese melt. When it is a little warm, we can already swell the tooth.
