The Forum

e all have our "defaults - the chicken pie, risotto or soup that we can do without really thinking.  And while WE might be bored of our old favourites, they'd taste fantastic to someone else. So do  please share your ideas for using up the last carrot in the fridge, those last two blackening bananas or the single lingering single egg white".

The best way to get my kids to eat leftover chicken is to disguise it - and Mexican Tacos are a brilliant way to do it. If the chicken has been in the fridge reheat in the oven at 160C while you're heating the taco shells or stir-fry it quickly If you like, sprinkle chicken with taco seasoning - you can get it in most supermarkets

SERVES 4- 6 (change servings and units)


Ingredients

* 3/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese or shredded cheddar cheese (or a mixture)
* 12 taco shells
* 3 cups cooked chicken
* 1 cup salsa
* 1 large avocado, diced
* 2 cups shredded lettuce
* 1 cup light sour cream
* chopped green chilies (optional)

Directions

1. Sprinkle 1 Tbs cheese in bottom of each taco shell and warm in 300° oven 5 minutes.
2. Mix chicken with salsa and avocado.
3. Put lettuce in taco shells, then chicken mixture, then sour cream.
4. If desired, sprinkle chopped green chillis over the top.

A Quiche makes a great lunch time snack as well as main meal from left over roasted chicken.

I could imagine pork and lamb would also work well.....
