Ingredients
- 1 pound leftover turkey (seasoned (or not) as you'd like)
- Cruciferous Crunch Salad (with Jalapeno Lime Vinaigrette)
- hot sauce or salsa
- pickled jalapenos
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese shredded (or crumbly cotija or feta cheese)
- 6 tortillas corn or flour tortillas (small taco ones)
Instructions
- Reheat leftover turkey however you’d prefer, and season however you'd like. To reheat on the stovetop, add shredded pieces of turkey to a covered pan over medium heat. Add in a tablespoon of water to help keep things moist as the turkey reheats. Reheating will take around 5 or so minutes.
- Dress your greens, if not using leftover Cruciferous Crunch Salad, while the turkey reheats.
- Warm up or char your tortillas to make them pliable.
- Assemble! Add 1 - 1.5 ounces of turkey to each tortilla.
- Top with a generous amount of dressed greens.
- Finish off with garnishes of your choosing - try topping with pickled jalapenos and shredded cheese.

Notes
- For the pictures in this recipe, I took a few tablespoons of crema and added in several dashes of Tabasco sauce. The result is a slightly spicy yet cool crema.
