Eggs on Leftover Taco Hash

I have become a master of leftovers.

They used to scare the crap out of me. I didn't like the way they smelt or looked. I don't like how cold and firm food can get after being refrigerated. I don't wanna see solid fat. The idea of eating old, pre-prepared food has never been appealing. Especially someone else's leftovers. That person's saliva-covered fork was allllll up in that. 

Eew. Okay, now that I think about it, I still have a smidgeon of fear when it comes to leftovers. No one's perfect.

But I've learned to face that fear! Mainly out of laziness and trying to save money. But it doesn't matter why you face your fears...it just matters that you do it! ...Right??

So, here's homemade chicken taco filling mixed with some homemade salsa underneath an egg and some fresh avo. 

Sunny-side-up egg and avocado are creamy. Taco meat was spicy. Kinda perfect, no???

It looks good, right?!?

Well, it was good. The key thing to take away here is that leftovers don't have to be what they were originally intended to be. You don't have to have tacos every night just because you made too much. 

Put the taco meat under an egg (that probably should be the title of this blog, but that's a conversation for another post), broil it in individual soufflé cups with some pasta covered with cheese, put mashed potatoes over it and have a Mexican Shepard's Pie, add canned tomatoes and chicken broth and some more spices and make a soup...the possibilities are endless!!!!!!

And, I am sorry for not having the taco filling recipe ready to report. I was improvising. It did turn out well though, so next time I "improvise", I'll be sure to share the wealth with you all.

In the meantime, put your face in your fridge and boldly go where no one has gone before! Give your leftovers new life. And let me know how it goes!
