Hello all! It finally feels like spring. The sun is shining, there is a light breeze and only a sweater is needed. Its perfect except for the allergy attack. Any who, I want to talk about left overs. They often get pushed to the back of the fridge and forgotten and eventually get thrown away. Not being a fan of waste, I usually try to find a way to make use of them. This is easiest to do when you have left over chicken or beef from a roast the night before. If you even more ambitious, you can make stock from the caucus and freeze it to use in other recipes. There is so much you can make from the left over meat, but this is my go to recipe for lunch or when I want a quick snack.
It cooks up in a few minutes and you should have everything on hand already. Simply add some cut up onions, and mix it together and put it on a tortilla and you got your self a meal. I use corn tortillas, you if you prefer flour go a head an use them and feel free to add other veggies.
