Leftovers Galore

Faced with the propagation of plastic containers in my refrigerator, it was time for creative cooking. Here's what I had:


chicken, grilled and sliced
sliced sweet peppers, cucumbers, oinions
cooked brown rice
black beans
tortillas



You probably don't have to go much further to guess that I threw it all together into an enchilada-like casserole.




I opened a can of diced tomatoes and heated them together with dried ancho chilies (diced), cumin, and coriander.


I heated the tortillas on the gas burner.




I topped the tortilla with some shredded cheese, grilled chicken, black beans, rice and the sliced peppers and onions.



Leftovers all wrapped up, topped with the sauce and some more cheese.

Since most of the ingredients were warmed before being wrapped, the enchiladas did take long to bake in the oven... maybe 20 minutes. The end result was a good dinner with leftovers for lunch. Leftover leftovers...that's funny.
