Now that Thanksgiving 2025 is over, we have delicious food lolling about in FRIG II. It's not going to eat itself! I had a bit of inspiration, sitting on the short couch Friday mid-morning. I usually have two main meals a day. "Breakfast," which might come at noon, and consists of a banana and bowl of Maple Brown Sugar instant oatmeal. The other is "supper," which is around 9:00, after Hick has been fed and put to bed, and my scratchers have been scratched.
Why should I go back to my standard breakfast when these leftovers are clamoring to be consumed? My early meal can just as well be called "lunch." I'm not one for making a Frankenstein of a sandwich with turkey, stuffing, green beans, and cranberry sauce. But I figured out a way to make a tasty combo.
It's a WRAP! I had some large flour tortillas on the counter. Sure, they're past the use-by date. But do tortillas ever go bad? Not in this house! I used bacon left from roasting the vegetables, some turkey breast, and my 7 Layer Salad.
Yes, that's a giant burrito-size tortilla. It's bigger than the plate. Mmm... I gotta say, The Pony was repulsed by this idea, because of the peas in the salad. But it was delicious! Perhaps a little dry. Next time I might add some green olives, which I had on the side, and added a little tang.
Hick would not appreciate such a culinary delight. He'll get the conventional version of the leftovers. As will I, for supper.
I am on board!!!!! Looks amazing tbh
ReplyDeleteI had another one for my "breakfast" today!
DeleteWe seem to have a lot in common. I usually only eat 2 meals a day. Breakfast and supper or dinner, later in the day, with my husband. On the weekends, we make a bigger more typical breakfast with eggs and sausage or bacon etc. or waffles or French toast, on occasion. Then we may steal a snack mid-day but eat dinner or supper later on. Your wrap sounds quite tasty. Nothing better than a tortilla to help pull things together. Yum. Ranee
ReplyDeleteWe have never been true breakfast people. Not enough time, with us each commuting an hour to work. Breakfast was for Christmas morning, after opening presents and sampling the stocking candy with the kids.
DeleteEven though I pretty much do NOTHING throughout the day, I don't think I'd have time for three meals. That amazed me when I've been in the hospital. Seems like you finish one meal, and it's time for the next!
That's a great way to use leftovers, reminiscient of older times when Italians made a "flatbread" to pile the leftovers onto, which could then be folded and eaten, Thus the pizza was born.
ReplyDeleteKudos to them for birthing PIZZA!!!
