Over medium heat, brown ground beef in a large skillet with a lid.
Drain off any excess fat after browning and add uncooked rice and water.
Stir in oregano, and pepper. Turn heat up to high and bring to a boil.
While rice is heating, dice onion, green and red bell peppers and add to skillet.
Stir in chili powder, cover and reduce heat to lowest setting.
At the end of 30 minute cooking time, remove lid and increase heat to medium.
Mix together olive oil and Italian salad dressing. Spread over bread slice.
Place under broiler and lightly brown.
While bread toasts, grate pepper jack cheese. Sprinkle over toasted bread and return to oven,
still warm from the broiler but no direct heat on, to melt cheese.
While cheese melts, dice tomato and stir into rice. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring often.
When the rice has absorbed all the moisture, serve with cheese bread.
