Ingredients
Before you start cooking, gather the following ingredients:
– 2 cups of cooked rice
– 6 eggs
– 1/2 cup of olive oil
– Salt to taste
– Optional: 1/2 cup of diced onions, 1/2 cup of diced bell peppers, and 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes
Preparation
1. Begin by heating a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet and allow it to warm up.
2. If you’re using onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes, add them to the skillet and sauté until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
3. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir it well to coat it with the oil and vegetables (if using).
4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt until well combined.
5. Pour the beaten eggs over the rice and vegetables in the skillet. Use a spatula to gently stir the mixture, ensuring that the eggs are evenly distributed.
Cooking the Tortilla
1. Let the mixture cook for about 5 minutes, until the eggs start to set around the edges.
2. Using a spatula, carefully flip the tortilla over to the other side. The rice should be evenly distributed throughout the omelette.
3. Cook the tortilla for another 5 minutes on the second side, or until the eggs are fully cooked and the tortilla is golden brown.
4. Once cooked, remove the tortilla from the skillet and let it cool for a few minutes.
5. After the tortilla has cooled slightly, cut it into wedges and serve warm.

Tortilla de arroz is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a variety of sides. Some popular options include:
