Quesadilla's

Growing up my dad would make what we called "garbage quesadilla's." The name might not sound appetizing but they most definitely always were! At the end of the week he would take the left over food and condiments to make delicious quesadilla's out of them. I have now adopted the same method with leftover food and have really started appreciating the art of creativity while in the kitchen. A couple weeks ago I made quesadilla's with leftover Mojo chicken, rice, and beans. This weeks blog is an example of a leftover pork roast that I had served with a yummy sweet tangy glaze. The sky is the limit with what you can do with leftover foods so be creative and enjoy!

A perfect way to finish off this week's leftover's.

Quesadilla:
Leftover pork or any desired meat
cheese of your choice
canola oil
onion
pepper
garlic
Tortilla shells, soft

Sweet tangy glaze:
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoon soy sauce

Garnish:
sour cream
onion
pepper
tomato
green onions

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat combine sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, water and soy sauce
2. Stir occasionally until mixture begins to bubble and thicken
3. Once thickened turn heat to low and occasionally stir as you prepare the quesadilla
4. In a skillet over medium heat saute onion, pepper, and garlic in oil
5. Once lightly browned add pork (or desired meat) and drizzle with tangy sauce
6. As meat is warming heat oil in an additional large skillet over medium heat
7. Once the oil in the large skillet is ready add one tortilla shell and top with warmed meat and sauteed veggies, cheese of your choice and drizzle with more tangy sauce. Top off with another tortilla shell.
8. Once tortilla shell is lightly brown flip quesadilla over and lightly brown other side
9. Serve immediately. Drizzle hot quesadilla with tangy sauce and garnish with your favorite toppings
