    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a medium saucepan, cook the rice according to the package instructions, usually about 20 minutes, until fluffy and set aside.

    3

    While the rice is cooking, chop the onion and bell pepper. In a skillet, sauté them in a little oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

    4

    Once the vegetables are sautéed, add the cooked rice, diced ham, cheese, and spices to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

    5

    Lay your tortillas in a baking dish and spoon the rice and ham mixture evenly among them. Roll them up and place seam side down.

    6

    Top the tortillas with any remaining cheese and pour the sour cream evenly over the top.

    7

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until everything is heated through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

    Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, so the filling sets.
