Equipment

  • 1 large skillet or electric grill

Ingredients
  

  • Leftover turkey, shredded or chopped
  • Leftover white beans, mashed slightly if you’re feeling fancy
  • Shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or any melty cheese you’ve got on hand)
  • Tortillas (flour works best for that golden crunch)
  • Butter for greasing the skillet

Instructions
 

  • Warm up your skillet or electric grill—nothing too fancy, just medium heat to get things sizzling.
  • Butter one side of each tortilla—‘cause butter is love, y’all.
  • Lay a tortilla butter-side-down in the skillet and load it up. Start with a layer of turkey, spoon on those beans, and sprinkle on enough cheese to make your heart happy.
  • Top it with another tortilla, butter-side-up. If you’re more of an open-face kinda person, just use one tortilla and fold it in half.
  • Brown each side until it’s golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted to perfection. Don’t rush it; this is a moment of cheesy alchemy.
  • Remove from the skillet and slice into triangles for easy dipping.
