Ingredients

1 cup leftover roast turkey
½ tsp smoky chipotle - ground or paste
½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp tomato paste
½ lime - juiced
1 dsp olive or other oil - I always try to use unrefined oils
2–3 soft tacos per person

To serve

½ cup shredded lettuce
taco toppings - Your choice

Instructions

Gather the ingredients. Warm a pizza stone in an oven set on a high heat – at least 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
Cut, chop or shred the turkey – 2 cm / 1" cubes are about right. Place in a plastic box with a lid, or in a bowl. Add the spices, tomato paste, oil and lime juice. Shake the box or give it a good stir to coat the meat in the spice mixture.
At this point you can freeze the taco turkey pieces to eat another day.
Heat a frying pan on low. Add the turkey, and a tablespoon of water. Stir gently, so as not to break up the meat.
Take the warmed pizza stone from the oven. Place the tacos on top to warm through.
Top the tacos with shredded lettuce and the warmed through turkey. Add your favourite extra toppings, roll up and enjoy!
