Now What?

Now that thanksgiving is over, what in the world will you do with all those left overs? Most families have turkey for dinner, and we usually do, but this year we had a ham. Something different, but now I have a whole pan of sliced ham. I know I will have ham sandwiches for lunch everyday for a while, that won't no where near use up all that ham. I have to come up with some different recipes to use it up, as I don't want to waste it, it cost too much money.

I thought about ham salad, mac and cheese with ham casserole, creamed ham and peas, ham and potato casserole, split pea soup with ham, and even eggs benedict using ham. But the recipe that looked the best was:

Ham Tortillas

* 4 large flour tortillas
* 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
* 8 oz thinly sliced ham, or smoked turkey
* 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
* 2 tablespoons chopped green onion (optional)
* pepper to taste
* vegetable oil for brushing tops

Preparation:

Lightly spray a cookie sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Arrange 2 tortillas on the cookie sheet, then evenly top with 1/4 cup of the cheese. Top the cheese with the sliced ham or turkey, the diced tomatoes, green onion, then the other 1/4 cup of cheese. Sprinkle each with a little pepper, then cover each with another tortilla. Brush tops with vegetable oil and bake in a 425° oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, until browned. Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve with mustard or mayonnaise.

This is what I am going to try today for lunch!
