Ingredients:

1/3 cup bread crumbs
30g
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
72g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 cup red pepper
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Capsicum (Red Pepper):
- Chop the red pepper into small pieces. Set aside.
3. Mix the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, ricotta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined.
4. Incorporate the Red Pepper:
- Gently fold the chopped red pepper into the cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
5. Form the Tortas:
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into small patties or tortas.
6. Bake the Tortas:
- Arrange the tortas on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tortas are golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
7. Serve:
- Remove the tortas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Ensure the bread crumbs are finely ground to help bind the mixture better and provide a smoother texture.

- For an extra layer of flavor, toast the bread crumbs lightly in a pan before adding them to the mix.

- Let the ricotta cheese come to room temperature before mixing; this will make it easier to combine with other ingredients.

- Marination of the red pepper can be done a day ahead to allow it to absorb maximum flavors. Add a dash of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice for best results.
