Ingredients

4-7 in (17 cm) flour tortillas
1 cup (250 mL) sliced cooking onions
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped green pepper
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped red pepper
2 jalapeño peppers, minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 cup (250 mL) shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup (250 mL) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
8 oz (250 g) shaved, cooked turkey breast
1/2 cup (125 mL) well drained, chunky salsa
1/2 cup (125 mL) coarsely chopped cilantro
1/3 cup (75 mL) sliced green or black olives

Directions

Line a 9-in (23 cm) pie plate by placing one whole tortilla on bottom and two halved tortillas around the sides, overlapping as necessary. Sauté onions and peppers in hot oil 2 to 3 minutes. Mix cheeses together. Layer one half the cheese, one half the turkey and a tortilla in the lined pie plate. Top with sautéed vegetables, remaining turkey, salsa, cilantro and remaining cheese.

Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until tortillas are lightly browned and cheese is melted. Garnish with olives. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve with sliced avocado and tomatoes on shredded lettuce or with re-fried beans.

Makes 5-6 servings.
