Ingredients:
Chef shares two ingredients that make perfect base for any soup - and stock hack
- 8 soft tortillas
- 8 tablespoons quality cranberry sauce
- 300 g leftover cooked higher-welfare turkey
- 1 x 150 g camembert
- a few sprigs of fresh thyme
Method:
- Firstly, lay out four large flour tortillas and spread two tablespoons of cranberry sauce evenly over them and then shred up and divide the turkey into smaller chunks on the tortillas.
- Slice the camembert as thinly as you can, and spread the cheese out evenly over the turkey, and scatter with thyme leaves. Top each tortilla with another tortilla on top.
- Dry fry the tortillas one by one in a large frying pan over a medium heat.
- Once the underside is crisp and golden (about two to three minutes), gently flip over and fry for a few more minutes, then slide onto a board and cut into wedges and enjoy!
