Turkey Flautas

Submitted by Chaya Madre

"This has been a Thanksgiving staple in MY house, since I was a kid. Each year I try to share it so that others might have the opportunity to add it to their traditions... and get rid of that turkey It can also be made with chicken, so it's a year round favorite too!! Recipe makes 6, but can easily be doubled, tripled, quadrupled... etc. We had about 30 made this year, and with 7 adults and 3 kids they were gone in a heartbeat!"
