One of our favorite leftover meals is quesadillas. When we have leftover meats, fish, seafood, or vegetables a lot of times they find their way into quesadillas. My favorite tortillas for this are Don Pancho® wholewheat tortillas. They are the perfect size and have great flexibility when they’re at room temperature. I use one tortilla, place all the ingredients on half of it, and fold it in half when I start to cook it. I used to make them using 2 tortillas, but it’s harder to manage the ingredients that way.
