Making the most out of leftovers

Leftovers — not everyone likes to eat them, but everyone has them. While some leftover meals may not seem all that appealing, there are a few tricks one can do to bring new life to an old dish.

Chicken is one of the cheapest, and easiest meats to cook. The only problem is that sometimes leftover chicken can become dry. A way around this is a quesadilla. Just break it apart and add cheese, salsa and sour cream to enjoy a delicious treat. Even if the chicken is dry, the salsa and sour cream will add moisture and flavor.

Another easy recipe for leftover chicken is a wrap or burrito. The concept is the same as a quesadilla, and one can add refried beans, salsa and rice to satisfy his or her hunger.
