Leftover + Leftover = ???

Last night, I needed to eat AND evict some lonely tenants from the fridge. That, at times, can be a scary combination...

I had made some chili (not from a can) Friday night and there was a little bit of roast beef waiting patiently, on the top shelf, in the croc pot. In the pantry, I knew we had an opened bag of tortilla chips. Why not eat them all together??

Onto the plate the chips went, then some roast beef and then some chili. My thought was....hmmm, could this work? I like everything on my plate but will they taste good together???

Before I go on any further, let me go back to the chili. The chili was made with ground turkey...and all the flavorings were based around that meat...so that was a concern.

Anyway, back to the plate...I heated it up, sat down and with my first bite I was frozen...I was in shock. So much so, there was a little bit of food that was hanging on for dear life on my bottom lip and for just a moment, I couldn't move, not even to grab the left behind morsel! My husband saw me and he could tell I was in shock...he saw the food on my lip, too...which was a little embarrassing. As my reflexes came back and my cognitive abilities unfroze, I was in amazment. It was the best chili combination I had ever had. The beef was seperate from the chili so when u took a bite, the chili, beef and chip were all three seperate flavors. It was like I got dragged by the collar and thrown into my happy place, without my consent.

Now I have a new recipe and I can't wait to make it again!!!

Is it strange that I enjoy eating so much??
