Turkey Tinga Tostadas
Does anyone else suffer from FONEF (fear of not enough food)? If you’re anything like me, you’ll probably have leftovers for days after Thanksgiving. Well, here’s a spin on my classic chicken tinga recipe that will allow you to use up all of that leftover turkey.
I love the subtle heat and smokiness the chipotles infuse into the turkey, contrasted by all of the fresh garnishes.
