Left Over Turkey Taquitos

Don't waste that turkey, but instead chop it up, season it and use it for these yummy taquitos.

WHAT YOU NEED:

• 2 cups left over cooked turkey, chopped (OR ANY PROTEIN)

• 1/4 cup chopped green onion

• 2 ounces cream cheese

• 2 tablespoons sour cream

• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 1/2 teaspoon cumin

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded

• 6–8 corn tortillas

• 1 cup Olive Oil or Avocado Oil for frying

WHAT TO DO:

1. In a medium bowl add the turkey through the salt. Use a fork to combine all of the ingredients well. This will also help to break the turkey into little pieces.

2. Place the corn tortillas on a plate and cover with a very damp napkin or paper towel. Microwave on high for about a minute. This will moisten and soften the tortillas so that they won’t break when being rolled.

3. Working quickly, while the tortillas are still hot, place about 2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture in the center of each tortilla and spread it from end to end. Sprinkle on a bit of the cheese. Roll the tortilla up tightly and place 2 toothpicks through the center to keep it in place. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

4. Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet or dutch oven until it reaches 375 degrees. Fry the taquitos until golden brown, turning once (2 to 3 minutes per side). Enjoy hot.
