Taquitos with Salsa Serrano

• 6 cups Cooked Turkey Or Chicken, Diced Or Shredded, Leftover Are Great
• 1/4 teaspoons Onion Powder

• 1/4 teaspoons Cumin
• 1/4 teaspoons Garlic Powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Chili Powder

• 1 bunch Cilantro
• 1 whole Large Tomato

1. For the taquitos: In a large bowl mix the spices with the leftover turkey or chicken and smash everything together.
2. Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 3 minutes on high.
3. If they seem like they want to tear while you are rolling the taquito, they need another minute or so.
4. Put a few tortillas on a work surface.
5. Fill each tortilla with smashed turkey or chicken, roll it up, and secure it closed with a toothpick.
6. Repeat with all of the tortillas and filling.
7. Heat about an inch of oil in an 8 skillet to a medium heat.

14. Wash the vegtables and cilantro.
15. Peel the onion and halve it.
16. Then boil the tomato, onion and serranos until tender, about 5 minutes.
17. Take vegetables out of the water reserving the water to add into the sauce.

21. It will be quite hot so be careful.
