Re. Wet burritoes: skip the rolling of tortillas. Layer everything as in making lasagna. Corn tortillas become the “noodles”. Saves time. Tastes the same with more servings per pan.

Sometimes we need to modify old recipe to make something different for our food. I also like doing that when I have time to cook by myself.

Wow! How creative and what a great way to use up leftovers. I have never been that ingenious and I appreciate your sharing this with us.

I crockpot cook pork butt roast a lot… basically because it’s a cheap cut of meat and always tastes good with mashed potatoes, gravy and a veggie. But sometimes the roast is too big, so with the leftovers I make wet burritos with the leftover meat… flour tortillas filled with meat, onion, refried beans or whole cooked pinto beans (optional), roll them up and put them in a 9×13 casserole dish. I then cover with canned enchilada sauce (or my homemade concoction of leftover pork gravy and jarred salsa) and bake at 350F for about 30 minutes. Cover with cheese and bake till cheese melts. Top with sour cream, salsa, chopped lettuce, tomato and onions, if desired, and serve alone the burritos or with spanish rice and/or beans if desired. Yummo!!

It’s not so much a recipe as just a tasty way of using leftovers – I take a salad to work for lunch every day. And periodically, I go thru the fridge and dump any protein and/or veg leftover into my salad container along with the lettuce, a little grated cheese and a couple cherry tomatoes. When lunch time comes, I add the dressing, cut everything up and enjoy. It’s like a leftover “cobb” salad.
