Some people love leftovers and other people, well, not so much. If you ere on the side of, not so much, this recipe is for you.  Using turkey leftovers from a big holiday meal can be transformed with the addition of a couple key ingredients.  The popular tex-mex flavours like chipotle, black beans and salsa transform the flavour of turkey leftovers.  The idea is to freeze this recipe so you can enjoy an entirely re-invented dinner during a busy weeknight.
