Leftover in Hell

Turkey - the bane of all meet eaters existence around the first of December every year. The staples of turkey soup, turkey sandwich, turkey turkey - they've all been played out. And while there really are an endless supply of creative alternatives -> one of my person favorites is the stuffing loaf - mash potato - turkey sandwich. Yes that is all one entity, I'll post a recipe some other time when I am feeling gluttonous.

However today's recipe is one I just played around this morning for the first time in a while. It really is pretty much the easiest recipe I've ever come up with. So without any further adieu:

Ingredients:
1 cup of shredded cooked turkey
.5 cup of salsa
.5 cup of wine
.5 cup of water
1 tsp of cumin
1 tsp of cayenne pepper
1/3 cup of cheddar cheese
Sour Cream (optional)
Chopped Lettuce (optional)
5 Tortillas

So since the turkey is already cooked, the whole process should take about 15 minutes. Step 1 mix salsa, turkey, wine, water, cumin and cayenne into a bowl. Mix thoroughly - really get in there and make sure the turkey is fully coated. Transfer the ingredients into a sauce pan and put it on medium heat. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10-12 minutes. Mix in the cheddar cheese and let the sauce thicken. In a frying pan heat up your tortilla shells. Once heated, scoop turkey mix directly onto each individual tortilla, top with lettuce and sour cream if you want. Serve immediately!

Enjoy!
