This busy schedule left me hungry at noon today. So, I opened the fridge to fix a quick sandwich and found my forgotten styrofoam container full of fajita leftovers. We had eaten at El Rodeo last night and my stomach just didn't have room for the large dinner portion (I LOVE their white salsa).
So, there sat my doggie bag, chilling... at just 38 degrees.
Without any soft flour tortilla shells, I wondered how could I make my leftovers into the lunch my stomach grumbled for.
Finding one lonely brat roll in the fridge, I went to work, sauteing my steak, onion and green peppers. After toasting the brat roll in the oven, I combined the two for a very filling sandwich.
The only thing missing - a nice guacamole to spread underneath.
Now YOU dish it. What do YOU do with YOUR leftovers?

I keep them in the refrigerator where I promptly forget about them after they become hidden behind something I never use, until they then grow legs and walk themselves to the garbage. My husband usually tries to stop it before it reaches the pail, takes a sniff and declares, "don't throw this out, I'll take it for lunch." Of course he then forgets it as well.
Oh Miss Amy, you're good. Our left overs end up in the trash because we forget about them. I have so much to learn!
I've had those leftover days too.
It's been years since I've worked in a restaurant, but I think you should throw the food away before it grows legs!! lol
