Using yellow corn tortillas, he lays them out on a pan and adds cooked turkey breast on top of them. Chef Bustos then adds butternut squash to the dish as a healthy source of vitamin C but says they can also be used in addition to sweet potatoes.
Instead of normal cheddar cheese, he opts for freshly shredded jalapeno pepper jack cheese in addition to queso fresco. Chef Bustos says he prepares his chile differently depending on the occasion and this time goes with Chimayo red chile puree.
The dish is topped off with additional cheese before he adds it to the oven. He finishes the entrée with a side of chorizo stuffing by browning chorizo with red chile and using sautéed onions and celery.
