Provided by Jerry

Categories     Holiday Leftover Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Approximately 1-pound leftover turkey meat (or 1-pound precooked turkey or chicken)
2 tbsp butter
1 large red onion, chopped fine
1-7 oz. can chopped green chilies, drained
1 - 1-1/2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
Paprika to taste
Adobo to taste
Cumin to taste
Light red chili powder to taste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
The juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
White corn tortillas
Sour cream and chopped green onions for garnish

Steps:

  • If using leftover chicken or turkey, separate meat from carcass and tear into bite-sized pieces. A combination of light and dark meat is preferred.
  • If using fresh chicken or turkey, either roast, grill or boil meat first, then shred with a pair of forks. you won't get the right consistency if you just try to cook the meat in the pan.
  • Saute onions in butter with a pinch of salt in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent. Add green chilies and cook until the aroma turns slightly sweet. (They are packed in vinegar, this needs to be cooked off.)
  • Add turkey and approximately 2/3 cup stock. season with salt, pepper and adobo powder. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for about 5 minutes to allow the meat to heat through. Test for seasoning.
  • Add remaining spices a little at a time, starting with about a teaspoon of each and increasing each a bit at a time until the mixture has the flavor and heat levels that you prefer. (I don't like to give exacts with any seasoning blend like this. use your judgment and go with whatever heat levels you like!)
  • Add Worcestershire sauce, and lime juice. Simmer, stirring often, for an additional 5-10 minutes or until turkey or chicken meat is falling apart in the skillet. Add stock as needed to keep the mixture moist, but not wet.
  • Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
  • The tortillas can be cooked on the stovetop on a lightly greased griddle with just a tiny bit of oil over medium heat, in the microwave in a microwave-safe tortilla warmer or stacked, wrapped in foil in a 350 degree oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until heated through and pliable. (I prefer either of the first two methods) tore tortillas in a tortilla warmer or wrapped in aluminum foil until serving or they will become brittle.
