Alright chopped champions, what are you making tonight...

In leu of baskets, each of you can look in your fridge. Each dinner must include at least 3 left over items, one vegetable, and one starch, and one protein (vegetarians can substitute another veggie of their choice).

For me:

Left over venison meatloaf
¾ cup of spagetti sauce
½ cup fried rice
Basmati from a left over indian dinner.

Found 4 tortillas and a chunk of monetary jack cheese hiding in the deli tray. Grated cheese. Sprayed a small casserole dish with non-stick spray. Spooned a bit of sauce on each tortilla. Added Grated cheese and left over meatloaf to each, rolled burrito style and placed in casserole. Added cayenne pepper and cilantro to the sauce to spice it up. Poured sauce over the top of the burritos and topped with a few diced onions (also left over) and remaining cheese. Slapped in a 350 oven to bake until goozy.

Mixed left over basmati rice with fried rice and nuked to heat. Sliced an Avocado found in the crisper and artfully arranged on top.

Grabbed a hand full of “spring mix” salad to finish the plate and put a few cherry tomatoes and drizzled my favorite calamata feta dressing over the top.

I’m calling them “El Bobbs”.

(all done while enjoying a margarita after a day of “bringing home the bacon)

Total prep time including the margarita… around 20 minutes not including the baking, which will be done while I finish the rita and fluther awhile.

So… what are you doing with the “mandatory ingredients”?
