Number Of Ingredients 9

12 small (6-inch) corn tortillas, sliced in 3/4-inch strips
2 tablespoons canola oil
Salt and pepper
1 small onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
2 jalapeno chiles, seeded (if desired, for less heat) and chopped (1/4 cup)
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 1/4 cups reduced-sodium canned chicken broth
6 ounces white cheddar cheese, grated
12 ounce leftover Grilled Turkey, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss tortillas with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt. Toast in oven until golden brown, tossing occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm remaining tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add onion, jalapenos, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, and bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender; puree until smooth.
  • Spread toasted tortilla strips on an ovenproof platter or in a baking dish; scatter cheese and turkey over strips. Bake until cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from oven; drizzle chile puree over the top. Serve immediately.
