We had a heatwave the other day, and grabbed a box of brats out of the freezer to take advantage of it. We grilled the whole 3 lb box for our family of four. Of course there is NO WAY we could eat all of them in one meal. And with only 8 buns in the pack, what are you supposed to do with the extra brats? Many times we will grill them and freeze all but the 8 that we have buns for. However, I have the perfect way to use them up. And no one will even realize you are using up leftover.
2 – 3 grilled or cooked brats – sliced thin lengthwise
sliced onions – about 1 cup
sliced peppers (red, green, yellow – whatever you have) – 1 to 2 cups
4-6 8 – 10″ flour tortillas
shredded pepper jack cheese
Place sliced brats in skillet with pepper and onions. (Hint – My local grocery stores sells a store brand frozen mix of pre-chopped red, yellow, and green peppers with the onions all in one bag. Wonderful to have on hand for something like this). Cook over low to medium low heat until veggies are tender (think fajitas) and brats are reheated. Place one flour tortilla on plate. Spoon small amount of filling in center of tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded pepper jack cheese. Roll tortilla around filling and enjoy.
If you wish, you can fold like a burritto and grill.
