The Leftover Hangover Dilemma: Chipotle Turkey Tacos

You make a 14 pound turkey named Billy and all the trimmings and then, what's left?
(OH SH-T. I just forgot I didn't take out the wishbone!!!!)

But besides that...you're left with a bunch of food to do things with. Or to. I don't know your personal life, so I'm going to back slowly away from that.

At any rate, I was faced with just such a dilemma tonight. The following were left in my fridge:

Salsa, Turkey, a zested orange from making cranberry sauce, and bags of...what the hell? Chipotle peppers and a sack of eggplant??

Which made me ponder....

 

 

...So then I enlisted some help...

 

..And I GOT IT.

 

Why, I'll combine all the ingredients, plus add a couple more, and I'll make chipotle turkey tacos!!!

 

 

Which is exactly what I did. Except for the sack of eggplant. I ate that. (NO, not out of the sack. Well maybe a little. Then I put it on a plate).

 

While you judge, let me tell you how I made these things. In the ever popular stylings of a Mr. Samuel L. Jackson (a close personal friend. Not of mine. I don't know the guy. But someone, I'm sure).

 

FIRST, GET YOU A MOTHER EFFING SKILLET. SKILL-LET.

 

PUT THE MOTHER EFFING OIL IN THE MOTHER EFFING SKILLET.

 

GET A MOTHER EFFING KNIFE.

 

CUT UP SOME MOTHER EFFING PEPPERS AND ONIONS. PUT THEM IN THE MOTHER EFFING SKILLET, MOTHER EFFER. DON'T FORGET TO SEASON THAT SH-T! WHEN THEY'RE MOTHER EFFING BROWN, PUT THEM ON THE POLISH STONEWARE PLATE SANDY GAVE YOU FOR CHRISTMAS! MOTHER EFFER!

 

PUT SOME MOTHER EFFING WINE IN THE SKILLET! BOIL IT DOWN UNTIL IT'S SYRUPY! ADD 1 TABLESPOON ADOBO SAUCE!

 

DRINK!

 

SHRED UP SOME MOTHER EFFING TURKEY AND PUT IT IN THE MOTHER EFFING SKIL-LET.

 

SQUIRT SOME FRESH CUT ORANGE JUICE ON THAT SH-T!

 

WHEN THE JUICE IS MOTHER EFFING SOAKED UP, TAKE IT OFF THE MOTHER EFFING HEAT. PUT IT ON THE PLATE WITH THE MOTHER EFFING PEPPERS AND ONIONS.

PUT A MOTHER EFFING CORN TORTILLA IN THE WARM SKIL-LET! LET IT HEAT UP FOR 30 SECONDS PER MOTHER EFFING SIDE!

 

NOW MAKE ME A GOT DAMN TACO, BEOTTCH!

 

DRINK!

 

 

Thanks, Sam!

 

I hope this has been educational as well as terrifying. Remember-always adjust the flavors as you want. If you like more spice, put in 2 tablespoons adobo (the sauce chipotle peppers come in) instead of 1. For wusses like me, 1 is perfect. But feel free to play! Hell, it's your food, not mine.

 

Fiesta en Noviembre! Ole! MOTHER EFFER!
