As a mom and wife first, I stay pretty busy. To help with my time management, I have found that the dinner cooking schedule the suits me best is every-other-day. Because I cook like this, it isn't often that I have the chance to use dinner leftovers for another meal and create something new out of it; we're always eating the leftovers for dinner the next day.
Last week when I made the
flank steak fajitas, we had more than enough meat for two night's worth of dinner. With the leftover meat I threw together a quick lunch that was super tasty! This is a great way to use up leftover flank steak, but like I told Eric - it's good enough to make on purpose. We were out of bread (or maybe it was in the freezer still), so I used a tortillia. I had never tried putting a
tortilla in a
panini press before, but it worked quite well.
Fajita Panini
- Leftover Flank Steak
- Flour Tortilla
- Cheddar Cheese
- Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
- Cilantro, chopped
- Red Onion, Sliced
Layer on half of a
tortilla: cheese, peppers, steak, cilantro, and red onion. Top again with a thin layer of cheese. Fold in half and grill in a
panini press until ingredients are hot,
tortilla is browned, and cheese is melted. Enjoy with salsa or guacamole.
Love the colors! Great idea, we will have to make these!

ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic use for leftover fajita filling! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI will say it again, you are a gifted photographer! Those look absolutely delicious- I am going to have to try those! We have a little Cuisinart Panini maker that has been gathering some dust in my kitchen. Thanks for sharing!
