Well Christmas has come and gone and what do we have left? Turkey… So we make turkey soup, we make turkey pot pie, turkey sandwiches, turkey tettrazini.

  • 2 tbsp of salsa (I have a recipe on the blog for easy salsa but you can use your favourite salsa)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Put salsa, onion, cheese, beans and turkey in centre of tortilla.
  3. Fold over into a square covering everything.

Serve this with a salad and you have a complete meal. You can have so much fun with this recipe. You want it spicy add jalapeños or a spicy salsa. You don’t like black beans but you like refried beans, change it up. It will change the calorie count but that is up to you. You ran out of turkey but you have left over roast beef, make it a beef tortilla. Have fun and make it your own.
