Leftover Surprise Quesedillas

Leftover Surprise Quesedillas

Leftover chicken, steak, sausage or turkey, pork
Mushrooms
Onions
Kraft Italian or Original Herb dressing
Flour Tortillas
Shredded cheese of choice

Throw the meat and veggies in a frying pan, pour dressing over top and cook until veggies are done. Spray a pan with oil and put a small amount of cheese on a tortilla in the pan. Top with some of the meat, more cheese and another tortilla. Fry. If you are not using a quesedilla maker be sure to press down on the quesedilla so the cheese sticks the sides together.
Serve with salad or veggies and dip on the side.

This is my concoction and it makes leftover night in our house a blast. Don't worry if your leftover meat has a sauce on it, it just adds to the flavor and is even better.
