I missed it yesterday because we were busy running around, having lunch with Saugata, and coming home to see Andrew, but yesterday, March 21st was SANTANA’S BIRTHDAY!!!
She is such a party puppy!!
Out of curiosity, we researched Freckles’s birthday…approximately October 13, 1994…She will be 14 this year!!! So old!!
Also, Happy Birthday to Dori, whose birthday is the same as Santana!!! Yay!!
From soup to enchiladas!

I spent two years re-making leftovers for my roommate Veronica while I lived in KY. She was super-wonderfully fussy and generally wouldn’t eat straight leftovers, so I learned to take whatever dinner we had and make it into something completely new (roast beef turned into mock-Philly steak & cheese; garlic chicken turned into stir fry or lo mein; smashed potatoes turned into amazingly creamy fried potato cakes for breakfast; etc.)
Anyway, I had a ton of Chicken Tortilla Soup leftover….
I strained the liquid out of the solid parts of the soup (veggies and chicken basically) and put the liquid, a cup or so of shredded cheese, and a little bit of the chicken and veggies on low heat to melt the cheese and make it into a thickened sauce-type-of-thing.
The rest of the chicken and veggies got rolled up into four leftover, unbaked tortillas, lined up in a baking dish coated with cooking spray.
The melted, hot sauce went over the filled tortillas, just to cover, and then the whole thing got topped with a little more cheese.
Covered with foil, baked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes…uncovered and continued to bake for 10-20 minutes.
DELICIOUS.
Probably not technically enchiladas, but close enough for my tastes.
