Preparation:

  1. At a regular fire in a pan add 2 tablespoons of oil.
  2. Add chopped onion, 3 cloves of garlic, 2 chopped peppers, and let it soften.
  3. Once it is cooked, add chopped tomatoes, let it fry and add salt to taste.
  4. Now we proceed to add the meat, either ground or shredded together with a little salt to taste.
  5. We stir-fry and let it fry a little bit, not letting it dry out completely.
  6. Now we proceed to add the cups of rice already fried to the casserole.
  7. Once it takes shape, color and smell, we turn off the pan and let it rest.
  8. Now we proceed to make the salad, taking the cabbage and chopping it into strips, a common cut in Nicaragua.
  9. We add a diced tomato, black vinegar, chopped onion and salt to taste.
  10. Then we mix all the elements and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
  11. Now put water in a bowl and add 1 1/2 cups of flour and mix.
  12. We put a beaten egg and we must take care when mixing that this is spicy and manageable, but not «thin», we added a little salt to taste.
  13. Now we take an omelet and without exaggerating we take a little «stuffing» that meat with rice from our casserole that we prepared at the beginning of these steps.
  14.  Once we fold and close our tortilla filled with meat, we proceed to muddy it with the flour mixture.
  15. Now in a casserole, we integrate enough oil until it covers the tortilla enough, and we let it cook, making the tortilla brown on both sides.
  16. Once it is browned, we take it out and drain the oil and put it on a plate and decorate it with our cabbage salad and eat it.
