A New Twist on an old favorite

Everybody loves tacos, burritos or quesodillas. One thing you need to keep on hand is flour tortillas. Leftovers often make good fillings for tortillas. Last week I had meatballs left from a spaghetti dinner so I took mozzarella cheese and chopped up some meatballs. I laid out a tortilla and laid cheese and meatballs down the center. I folded it up like a burrito, put it in the microwave and made a meatball snack. I had chicken left from a whole chicken the night before so I stripped the bone added ranch dressing and shredded cheese, warmed them up for 45 sec. and had my own chicken snack wraps.

Other times I fill them with scrambled egg, crumbled bacon, mushrooms, and shredded cheese and make my own breakfast burrito.

Check back for other ideas for quick meals from leftovers. These help stretch your food dollars.
