In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Add the diced tomatoes and Tomato Frito to the skillet.
Let it simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the chopped basil and let the sauce continue to simmer while you prepare the risotto burgers.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked risotto rice with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Form the mixture into burger patties.
Dip each risotto burger patty into the beaten egg, then coat it with a mixture of breadcrumbs and dried oregano.
Heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the risotto burgers for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
Once the risotto burgers are cooked through and crispy on the outside, serve them with the tomato sauce on the side.

Wine Advice:
Pair these risotto burgers with a light-bodied red wine such as Chianti or Sangiovese. Alternatively, a crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay would complement the dish nicely. If you prefer non-alcoholic options, consider serving with a sparkling water infused with a squeeze of lemon or lime.
