So you're scared to open the fridge because you know there's still leftovers in there. Every time you open the door they're just sitting there, staring at you. You've tried every way imaginable to get rid of it and have run out of ideas. You wake up in the middle of the night screamingHow can I get rid of those darned leftovers?!? Well, my friends, there's no need to worry. Open your mind, and open your door, because Paco wants to come in and help!While I don't believe they celebrate Thanksgiving like we do here in the US, it is becoming quite clear from the news (and looking around Wilmington) that a large number of Mexicans have relocated to the US and are eager to help us celebrate! So here's how we do leftovers, south of the border style! Start by heating up everything except the cranberry sauce. Nuke the tortilla for 25-30 seconds too, so it's soft and toasty! On top of the tortilla, put down a heavy dose of gravy and pile some stuffing chunks on top.Next we put some turkey chunks down and somewell drained peas. If you had another veggie then that'll work too. (Those were the green things beside the turkey that no one touched!)Lastly, and here's the tricky part, slice very very thin slices off the cranberry sauce and layer that on top. Let's call it "Cranberry Salsa!" I think it works best very cold in the hot burrito. But I suppose you could warm it up and pour it on as well.Last step is easy: Roll it up an eat it up!And before you ask, yes I did eat it and it was yummy. If you haven't even tried it you have no right to wrinkle your nose up at it either. That kind of closed minded thinking will have you eating Thanksgiving leftovers on New Year's Eve! The title if this post is Spanish for "The cure for leftovers." I hope! But as we all know I don't speak Spanish. |
