Last week I posted a recipe for sweet mesquite turkey breast....well, it was such a hit, I decided to try a few different ways to serve it. The first serving made amazing sandwiches - topped with Havarti cheese and slaw mix with plenty of mayo. After the second round of sandwiches, I was looking for something with a little kick.
I decided to try a taco. Tacos are as common as sandwiches in my house and this made the last of the leftover turkey disappear in a matter of minutes. Another huge hit! I love it when something is easy to make, affordable, and is full of flavor. Though, it may be said that I am eager to try anything as a taco. I don't think the universe can have too many tacos....do you?
