WARMED TORTILLA WITH SALAD, STILTON & PEAR - quick & easy, healthy

A wonderful treat made entirely from leftovers...

Turn treasured leftovers into a first-rate treat.

This fabulous open-faced breakfast sandwich is made from those odd leftover bits of foods too good to throw away.  With a tiny bit of time and effort, they'll make a delicious substantial snack.  And save money. And avoid waste. 

It's healthy too, providing all your daily food requirements in one go: protein, fibre, fruit and something raw.   

And, if you've missed lunch or dinner, it morphs easily into something not quite a meal but more than a snack.

Obviously depending not the state of your leftovers, the ingredients - and flavours - will vary.

Cost: little if you have leftovers
