Ingredients:
1/2 lb leftover roast turkey meat, shredded
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 bell peppers (preferably red and orange), finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 (15- to 16-oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
4 oz corn tortilla chips (not low-fat)
2 cups grated jalapeño jack cheese (8 oz)
1/4 cup chopped scallion greens
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup sour cream
2 to 3 teaspoons finely chopped pickled jalapeño
accompaniment: tomato salsa
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Toss turkey with lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté bell peppers, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in skillet over moderate heat and cook garlic, cumin, and oregano, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in beans and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
