SHREDDED BEEF & CHEESE QUESADILLA'S



Shredded Beef & Cheese Quesadilla's image

I use leftover roast for these, or cook some round steak in the crockpot. Quesadilla's are one of my "go to" meals. Super simple & quick. You can sub ground beef, chicken, or pork for the beef. Change up the cheese's or onions & salsa. The tortilla is you canvas, anything goes.

I hate to admit it, but we are just not big on leftovers around here. No one ever wants the same meal heated up and served again. So, if I want to avoid throwing out perfectly good food...especially when it was expensive food like meat...I have to come up with yummy ways to re-invent it. This was my lunch today, re-invented from...
