Make your own veggie nachos
I used two different kinds of leftover tortilla chips, added a bag of mexican cheese (which was somehow still less cheese than other recipes), leftover corn, canned rinsed black beans, some cut op tomatoes, some frozen fajita veggies that I briefly sauteed first, and some pickled red onions. Then I put it on aluminum foil 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then topped with some guacamole and salsa.
Not the worlds healthiest, but super easy and yummy.

Leftovers soup
Add to pot: 4 cups vegetable broth, 1-2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1-2 tsp toasted sesame oil. 1-2 tsp veggie "oyster sauce", 1 green onion thinly sliced, white parts only, one thing of nori. Heat up and stir, add some frozen veggies, I used peas and carrots because that was the only option I had taht wouldn't waste a steamer bag. When it's all heated through add the green onion and spinach.
This is modified from the previous dumpling soup. The point is the reminder that it's super easy, you can just make soup. There's a ton of stuff you could add to this too.
Roasted Sweet Potato Leftovers Toppings
Roasted sweet potato
put pepperjack cheese, canned black beans, and leftover spicy marinara sauce (didn't have salsa but conveniently it's delicious) warm up in microwave.
Top with green onions and pickled red onions.

It was supposed to be a roasted potato topped with cheese, yogurt, guacamole, canned refried beans, and frozen sauteed fajita vegetables. I screwed up and had to throw out the potatoes, but the canned refried bean was gross. The rest I will try though

Keeper: Spinach Tortellini soup
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/16332/spinach-tortellini-soup/
Combine chicken broth and spinach in a large pot over high heat; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in tortellini; cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
1 (9 ounce) package cheese tortellini
¼ tablespoon dried basil
¼ tablespoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
I added some red peper flakes and a couple tsps of the savory veg "oyster sauce". Couldn't find the dried bail, so use the italian seasonings. Topped with a little bit of mozzarella at the end.

Not going to bother to link to it, it was an iceberg salad with a very basic dressing, but I didn't like it much. Good reminder I shouldn't completley count out iceberg lettuce though
