A Leftover Remake...Delicious Mushroom Tacos

I love leftovers, but seem to be the only one in my family who shares this sentiment.  With the exception of chili and lasagna, my family doesn't eat leftovers.  For that matter, my husband doesn't like Mexican food, so I try and get my fix during the lunch hours.

Last week, I had an interesting mix of leftovers, and stirred together, made a fabulous filling for tacos.  I can't give you exact measurements, because I used what was leftover and mixed it all together with a few fresh ingredients.

Here is where I started...I had a 1/4 of an onion and a dab of browned ground beef.  I also had a few baby portabella mushrooms that were begging to be cooked.  I chopped and sauteed the mushroom and onion, stirred in the ground beef, and added salsa and corn.  I then realized I had a little bit of Philly cooking cream, Santa Fe flavor, so I stirred in a little of that. I then warmed some corn tortillas and filled them with the delicious filling.  Chopped up some fresh Greek oregano, and I had a great taco lunch.



I share this with you, as maybe an inspiration to try something new and different.  I had no idea what I would come up with, and I ended with a delicious concoction.  Food is as much about experimenting as it is nourishment. 

Until next time, keep adventuring and looking for joy in the small details of life!
