Bulgogi Tacos

Tacos...again.

I realized today that I'm seeing a trend in my dinner cooking habits.  When I was a kid my mom used leftovers to make a casserole.  It didn't matter what the leftovers were.  She put it all in a dish, added a can of peas (no, I still don't know why) popped it in the oven for a bit and voila!  Dinner.  Or some approximation, thereof.  This was not my favorite night of the week.

Now that I'm the mom and working with leftovers I realized I have my own version of my mom's casserole routine.  When I have leftovers I make tacos.  It doesn't matter what the leftovers are.  I shove them in some corn tortillas with a bit of cheese, tomatoes and greens and voila!  Dinner.

This time it was the leftover bulgogi from last night.  I chopped it up small and cooked it in a skillet with some cumin, coriander and chili powder.  Just a little because I didn't want to ruin the great bulgogi taste.  I toasted the tortillas over an open burner.  The charred flavor on the tortillas was really good with the bulgogi and tomatoes are always great with beef.

So maybe my leftover ideas haven't been overly exciting lately but it does taste good.  And there's not a canned pea in sight.
