What to Do with Leftover Fajitas

There is a great Mexican restaurant near my house. There is usually a great one near everybody's house. They have great, fresh squeezed, ½ price, lime margaritas on Thursday nights (which I tend to drink one too many of). They also serve a combination (chicken, steak, and shrimp on skewers) fajita for two. The problem is that my boyfriend and I never eat all of it. After filling up on margaritas, nachos (which the waiter refills constantly), salsa and cheese dip, we can't seem to finish our actual dinner. Ever wonder what to do with the fajita mixture when you have run out of tortilla wrappers and room in your stomach. Don't leave them on the table in the restaurant. Get a doggy bag for the left over fajita mixture. Ask the waiter to bring you a small cup of salsa and some of that great Mexican cheese dip to go.

When you wake up the next morning, grab your ingredients from the restaurant out of the fridge. While you are in there, grab some eggs, milk or cream, butter and hot sauce.

Mix three eggs with some milk or cream. Whip until the yolk is thoroughly mixed in with the whites. It should be light yellow color. Reheat the fajita mixture in a non stick skillet. Set the fajita mixture to the side. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. Turn the heat on the stove to medium low. Place the skillet on the stove and add about a tablespoon of butter. When the butter has just melted, add the egg mixture. Add a few drops hot sauce to taste over the entire egg mixture. Allow the egg mixture to cook slightly and then add the fajita mixture to one half of the eggs. Dump some of the cheese dip on top of the fajita mixture.

Let your eggs cook until almost done. Flip the half of the egg that has nothing on it over the half that does. Let it cook for another minute, then flip the entire omelet over and allow the omelet to cook for one more minute.

Put the omelet on a plate. Pour some of the salsa over the top of the whole thing.

This is a great way to deal with all the fajitas that you can't eat in one sitting.

This is also a great meal for when you have late nights and need something to eat before you go to sleep.
