2 cups shredded cheddar or favorite mexican cheese blend
1 (2 ounce) can sliced black olives
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and chili powder
24 (6 inch) flour tortillas
1 bottle of taco sauce or a (19 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
4 cups cooked turkey, chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
optional: chopped jalapeno peppers
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the cheese, spices and black olives.
In a small skillet, heat enough oil to lightly coat one tortilla, and just warm each side. Remove and dip in sauce to coat on on side.
Add turkey, olives and cheese mixture to center of tortilla, roll and place in the prepared dish. Sprinkle with more cheese on top. Place into a baking dish and bake until cheese is melted. Bake time is around 20 minutes.

Now that's a great idea. There is so much turkey in the fridge and only Ted and Shane will eat it. I need to get creative so it doesn't get old.
ReplyDeleteLove the change in flavors.., please no more turkey and gravy!
ReplyDeletelook delicious! gloria
ReplyDeleteWow! That really looks delicious. I'd love to have one of those. It sure beats a turkey with mayo sandwich. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy. I was thinking of doing a Mexican twist on leftover turkey, now I don't have to make up a recipe.
ReplyDeleteDelicioso!!
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia, We love Mexican, this is a great idea and a nice change from the traditional leftover recipes. Hope you weathered the retail storm without incident!
ReplyDeleteGreat leftover idea!
ReplyDeleteWish I had leftover turkey to make this yummy tortilla! We were invited to friends' house for Thanksgiving. Now, I want more than ever to bake my own turkey. Missed it this year!
ReplyDeleteHope your Thanksgiving was great, considering your loss, which is something we all have, especially around the holidays!
Italian goes Mexican! That looks really good.!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of Thanksgiving is making sandwiches out of the leftover turkey.
ReplyDeleteThis turkey tortilla is a mighty fine option also!
Great idea. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect...not complicated, yet delicious! Wish I had enough leftovers to try it this year~
ReplyDeleteDear Claudia, This sounds delish and easy to prepare. That is a perfect combination after all the cooking. Blessings, Catherine xo
