Thanksgiving leftovers are some of the best foods to have around. There is nothing quite like that day-after turkey sandwich, regardless of how simple or fancy you decide to prepare it. However, by the second day, everyone starts getting tired of the same tastes and flavors left from the big holiday meal.
I have always been a proponent of turning leftovers into something completely different. Not only does it keep things interesting, but it’s also a challenge I love.

Leftover Turkey & Black Bean Tacos
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 cups shredded leftover turkey
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilis, drained
- 1 can (14.5 oz) black beans, rinsed
- 2 cups Sargento® Fine Cut Shredded 4 Cheese Mexican
- 10 white corn tortillas, fried
Directions
- Add oil and butter to a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and saute until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add turkey, smoked paprika and cumin; stir until warmed through. Add green chilis and black beans, continue stirring until fully incorpoated.
- Fill tortilla with 1/3 cup of the turkey mixture and place in a baking dish. Repeat until all the turkey mixture and tortillas are used up. Top all the tacos with cheese and place in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes (this will melt the cheese and crisp the edges of the tortilla).
- Serve with your favorite hot sauce.
