Leftover Burger Tacos

You open your basket and find.......

Leftovers from the Teens 16th Birthday Party.........

You have some cheese cubes and salsa left from the appetizer table.  

Some Cheesebugers on Buns leftover from Dinner along with some lettuce and tomatoes that were on the condiment tray.

The party was Sunday, we  had already rewarmed some of the burgers and had them with leftover salads and baked beans on Monday.  We had leftover hot dogs and baked beans for lunch and were wanting something different for dinner.

I peeled off the buns as well as I could. Broke them up and put them in the food processor.  Then I pulsed until it was nice and crumbly.

I sauted up some onion in olive oil, then I added the crumbled meat, some tomato paste, water and seasonings.  I let that cook until the water and flavors were absorbed into the meat.  While that was cooking, I used my food processor to shred the cheese cubes.

They turned out wonderfully and made a perfect Taco Tuesday meal.....
