The Hawthorne boys love burritos, tacos,
enchiladas, and quesadillas -
basically anything wrapped in a tortilla.
I can't tell you how many burritos I've made
for them this summer,
but it's been a bunch.
We had some grilled steak leftover
so Mr. Hawthorne is making Moreover Quesadillas.
In case you don't know what "moreovers" are,
let me explain to you:
Rosie doesn't do "leftovers."
Rosie does "moreovers."
Here's an explanation from an earlier post:
Nothing goes to waste in the Hawthorne Household. And I don't refer to the remnants as leftovers. Immediately after writing the word "leftovers," I knew I needed another word that was more real, more definitive, and positive. First I thought of the word re-do's. But that implies it wasn't done right the first time around when it certainly was. Then I considered do-overs. But, of course, that, too, has a negative connotation. I've put a lot of thought into this trying to come up with just the right word which describes the process of what I do in the life chain of the produce and viande I prepare and serve and consume. And my word is moreovers. Think about it: You've already produced and served a wonderful, satisfying, convivial repast. So, what's next? MORE is next. When you say "Moreover," you're likely going to top what you previously said, put an exclamation point there, and/or put it in bold or italics. So, I have no leftovers. I have MOREOVERS!

Mr. Hawthorne's ingredients:
grilled steak
red onion
yellow onion
green pepper
red pepper
sharp cheddar
tortillas

Mr. Hawthorne thinly sliced his ingredients.

Then added the veggies to his skillet
with a little bit of ELBOO.
(That's Extra Light Bertolli Olive Oil!)

And of course he likes to show off
his mad flipping skilz.

Just saute for a minute or two.

That's quite enough now.

The pan has a very thin coat of oil on it
and Mr. Hawthorne placed a tortilla in it
and added a layer of cheddar cheese.

Next, a layer of veggies.

And last, strips of steak and more cheese.

Fold top over and lightly brown each side.

And you have a delicious Moreover Quesadilla.

And it took all of five minutes
from start to finish.

I want one of these right now.
How about "Deja Food" LOL!
