Review:
Yum. I love leftover turkey and this was a great way to use it up. Holy jalapeno!! This is spicy spicy spicy. So if you don’t love the heat then maybe just use half a can of the jalapenos, or a quarter of the can. If you love beans add in another can. 4 stars.
I am going to make this!
Mine seemed very soupy instead of like chili. Is this normal?
Hmmm, maybe drain the beans next time for a more chili consistency.
That sounds yummy, Jordyn! Glad it was enjoyed 🙂
So good! I used chicken instead of turkey and shredded it once it got tender, made it more like chicken-tortilla soup! My boyfriend loved it 🙂
