I've probably said it before, but I love holiday leftovers!!! That's one good thing about making a huge meal, you can eat off it for days!! Many times we just eat them as is, but once in a while I get a hankering to make the leftovers into something else, hence this meal.
I was so excited to come home from my parent's house at Thanksgiving with a big bag of turkey. Even though it was just 5 adults and my 3 girls, who don't eat much, my dad insisted on getting a 20 pound turkey! I'm glad he did. I had been eyeing these enchiladas even before Thanksgiving, so I was glad to whip them up a few days later.
You will love this rendition of the traditional Chicken Enchiladas. With the orangey-tangy-ness from cranberry sauce, a little spice from the chipotle tabasco and, of course the turkey. Next time you cook up a turkey, save some leftovers for these!
Cranberry-Turkey Enchiladas
2-2 1/2 cups shredded turkey or chicken
2 cups Fresh OrangeCranberry Sauce (or 1 16-oz can)
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
