About Tortas de arroz

Tortas de Arroz, a traditional dish from Latin American cuisine, are savory rice patties made from cooked rice, eggs, and breadcrumbs or flour, often seasoned with herbs, cheese, and spices. These patties are pan-fried to a golden perfection, offering a crispy exterior and a soft, flavorful interior. They are versatile, sometimes served as a side dish, appetizer, or light main course. Tortas de Arroz are a good source of carbohydrates, offering energy, and the eggs provide protein and essential nutrients like vitamin D and B12. However, their healthiness varies based on preparation—pan-frying adds fats, potentially increasing calorie content, while baking can reduce fat levels. Adding vegetables like grated zucchini or carrots can boost their fiber and vitamin content. A great option for using leftover rice, Tortas de Arroz highlight the resourceful and delicious nature of home-cooked meals in Latin American households.
