Turkey is one of our favorites too, perhaps we enjoy the leftovers as much as the main meal!

You could save yourself a step by cooking them on the stove, by just putting them in an oven-safe bowl to cook, I would think!

Turkey after Christmas is always a treat because I can do so much with it; casseroles, hot turkey sandwiches, sweet and sour turkey {chicken} a savoury soup, etc... When I make spaghetti sauce I always have enough left over for lasagna and my Chili too stretches a long way. Your tacos look delicious and thanks for sharing your recipe. It's always lovely to have you join my little blog party.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-83286619171963287362016-01-24T15:07:14.308-08:002016-01-24T15:07:14.308-08:00What a great idea.

Yes, we use leftovers....Yummy! This looks so tasty!<br />Yes, we use leftovers. I save all my little scraps and freeze them in baggies, eventually I add all of them to a pot and make soup. Maybe a little spaghetti, some pot roast or chicken, left over veggies etc. It actually comes out really good most of the time. I was thinking one day on how Jesus gathered up all the fragments after He fed the crowds, He didn't just throw out the leftovers. I started practicing this and have really cut down on my grocery bill by not letting things go to waste.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-27341046009562546132016-01-23T18:43:46.936-08:002016-01-23T18:43:46.936-08:00I never thought of making my own taco bowls from f...I never thought of making my own taco bowls from flour tortillas!
