Andrew Doak Cooks - Chicken Quesadilla

Once you get familiar with your pantry, utensils, stove, fridge, freezer and general kitchen you will start to see food prep “in the future…” What can we do with ALL of this BLANK stuff: Meat, Veggies, Starch, whatever!? So, I do a mixed grill knowing some of that meat is intended for other meals. Teriyaki Chicken, I knew we would be using that for something other than eating right off the grill: Quesadillas. NOW, I didn’t have the correct tortillas in the house. I didn’t have any Crema / Sour Cream. So I made up my menu, looked at what I had on-hand, and the stuff I needed I picked up from the store, last night, after dinner.
GASP, you left the house AT DARK to go to the GROCERY store AT NIGHT!?!? Come-on people, you really need to get over ideas on when / how you go to the store. Yes, I did, and now I have all I need to prepare tonights meal. Should be a good one!
