Total time: 20 mins
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ½ bell pepper, chopped (any color)
  • 1 cup chopped leftover turkey
  • ½ cup red salsa, medium heat or hotter to taste
  • ¼ cup diced medium hot green chile (about 1 Anaheim)
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar or cheddar-jack cheese
  • 4 8-inch or 2 10-inch flour tortillas
Instructions
  1. In a medium skillet, heat oil, then saute onion and bell pepper until soft; then add the turkey, salsa, green chile, and cumin.
  2. Mix well while cooking for a few minutes, taste, and add more salsa and chile as desired to taste. Note everything is already cooked, so no need to cook more than a few minutes.
  3. Place a 10-inch tortilla on a large dry nonstick skillet (no oil) over a burner and sprinkle half the cheese evenly over; then spread the turkey mixture evenly over the cheese and then spread with remaining cheese and top with second tortilla.
  4. Heat over medium heat until bottom tortilla is starting to brown, slide it off onto a plate; then place the skillet upside down over the plate and flip it. Then lightly brown the top side.
  5. Slide off onto a plate, cut into 6 or 8 wedges, garnish with chopped tomatoes or cilantro and serve
