Leftover Makeover: Chicken Tac-over
So you know that feeling when you’re staring down a tupperware full of leftovers and you decide you just can’t eat that again. I hate that feeling. So I’ve come up with a new post category. Leftover Makeovers. I’m pretty pleased with myself and my ability to take leftovers and turn them into something else.
Take today’s ‘creation’.
Start with:
Leftover grocery store roast chicken
Leftover white rice
Veggies originally bought for a stir fry but not finished
ADD:
cheese, avocado, salsa, frozen corn, sour cream and wraps (purchased for pulled pork tacos but never used as the pork was used for pulled pork poutine instead – another leftover makeover, come to think of it)
CUE THE BAD FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY
Fry up the peppers and onions. Add the frozen corn directly to the pan without defrosting. Throw in a couple of spoonfuls of salsa to spice up the fry.
Then put out the cool toppings. You can add the chicken to the pan but we microwaved it and the rice to warm both up.
Then TA-DA! That is not Grocery Store chicken and rice and corn. Which was delicious yesterday. That’s a sweet Tac-Over, a delicious do-over, a great way to take has been food and make it “where has you been all my life” food.
