True Romance is the only Tarantino movie I ever liked.

Great repurposing! Sounds awesome.

I was typing in a hurry, hopefully even new cooks would know that's way too long for a casserole. Those are big turkey times.

Now you have like 10 various of crispy quesadillas / tacos you can try very quickly, completely customizable, using stuff you have left from your casserole!

Note: flour tortillas have not been tested in any of these recipes because I prefer corn for these purposes.

Enjoy your food!

You can also use seitan or TVP / bean to keep it vegan. Other combos that are delicious would be potatoes with or without cheese, rajas and cheese, elote with or without cheese. I'd also try chayote & elote though both need to be cooked beforehand. Likely all veg does except maybe greens.

The sauce takes this to the next level. It gives the quesadillas a glossy / crispy mouth feel that plain dry tortillas don't achieve on their own. And it's lighter than frying them in oil.

If you want to do the crispy taco version, use a combo of spicy meat / bean filling and prepare the same way.

Fold over and press lightly on top. They should be soft enough to stick together and not flop open. Now I do mine in the air fryer. 5 mins at 325. But you can do them in the oven, 10 minutes at 350. Or carefully in a skillet on low to get crispy without burning them. I like 'set and forget' food.

Delicious crispy mini tacos / quesadillas depending on what filling you use.

This can be a fast and delicious lunch using what you already have.

Take 6 corn tortillas. Rub them front and back with green sauce. Microwave for 30 seconds, till soft and pliable. Add crumbled panela & oaxaca.

I got a pack of 30 corn tortillas for 1.99 and a 28 oz can of green sauce for 2.49. I have a LOT of sauce left. I also have panela and oaxaca cheese leftover. Your regular grocer may have it, but if not, check your bodegas.

So I'm gonna give you a bonus recipe tonight! Now we're repurposing food.

And it's so much faster than rolling 12 enchiladas. If you're hungry and tired, your belly doesn't care if it's rolled or square. I do often make enchiladas properly, but this casserole is the quick version.

Now then, if you're like me, you'll probably have tortillas and sauce left over.

Spoon some sauce over the first layer, just a little. 6 more tortillas. More sauce. Top with whatever cheese you have (if you eat it). Bake at 350 for 350 minutes til hot and yummy. Top with shredded lettuce and sour cream.

Cut like a lasagna and eat immediately. It's really good.

You'll need some shredded meat (or all cheese to keep it veggie, beans or other veg for vegan versions), 12 corn tortillas, some green or red sauce and cheese.

Put like 5 spoons of sauce in the bottom of the pan. Layer 6 tortillas. Add shredded turkey. I also add oaxaca and panela cheese.

By this point, you're probably sick of turkey if you have any left. You can certainly freeze it. What did I do with mine tonight?

Enchilada casserole

I usually put shredded chicken in there, but turkey works a treat and at this time of year, people often have a lot of it to spare.

*slides in* Have you read The Silent Places by Skyla Dawn Cameron?

It was right there, Robin. Why didn't I see it?!
