Add the peppers and onions and cook, stirring often until the veggies have softened and are beginning to brown, about 10-15 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, oregano and cumin, stir until the tomato paste is dispersed into the sauteed veggies and is very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the rice, stir to coat.
