I have a confession, I despise leftovers. I cannot eat something the next day except for lasagna and roast beef. I decided that I needed to come up with something to reduce food waste without having to eat leftovers. Fridge Forage is a cooking concept where I make new meals from ingredients I have on hand, or change already executed recipes into a new dish.
I created this recipe using mushrooms I had for another dish I didn’t end up making, cheese I had left over from a cheese plate plus large tortillas that I cut down to mini size.
