Leftover Fajita meat?

Here's my favorite thing to do with leftover fajita meat:

Dice the meat, as well as any onions and peppers that may be leftover. Add a can of drained, rinsed black beans and some salsa. Put the meat and bean mixture into a baking dish large enough to hold twice the amount. Sprinkle this mixture with some grated cheese (cheddar, Jack, etc). Mix up a batch of cornbread and pour the batter over the mixture. Sprinkle with a little more cheese if you'd like. You can do add-ins with your cornbread too--try diced green chilis.

Bake in a 400 degree oven until the cornbread is golden brown on top and a pick inserted in the center of the cornbread comes out clean. I think of this as a Mexican "shepherd's pie."
