🥄 Ingredients

  • 8 ounce cooked turkey (breast preferably)
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ large onions (sliced)
  • 1 medium tomato (chopped)
  • ½ cup turkey or chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon chipotle powder, paprika or chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 bolillo bun (or a type of french bread bun)
  • butter (at room temperature)
  • 4 Tablespoons Chipotle crema or Mayo

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Shred the turkey and set aside.

  2. In a large skillet, add the oil and heat on medium high heat. Saute the onion for about 1 minute.

  3. Add the tomato and saute for 1 minute. Add the shredded turkey, seasoning and broth. Cook for about 5 minutes on medium-low.

  4. Meanwhile, heat a comal or skillet and carefully slice the bun in half horizontally. Take a bit of butter and spread it evenly on the inner sides of each bun half. Ensure you cover the entire surface for that golden, buttery goodness.

  5. Place bun halves, inner side down, onto the preheated skillet. Press them slightly to ensure good contact with the hot surface. Toast until golden, about 1-2 minutes.
