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.
