Managing Leftovers

Do you have trouble dealing with leftovers? Many people do. I keep a package of the large flour tortillas on hand for just that purpose. Say we plan to have a dinner of grilled chicken breast, rice (any kind), and steamed broccoli. We have leftovers. I dice the chicken, add the rice and cut up portions of broccoli in a bowl. Now it is time for the tortillas to save the day. Lay out a tortilla and scoop out a portion of the chicken, rice, vegetable mixture (approx. a cupful) and place in the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up to form a burrito. Repeat this process until your mixture of leftovers is used up. Place the burritos in a freezer ziploc bag and freeze until you are ready for a meal of chicken enchiladas. More to follow on a recipe for the sauce for your enchiladas.
