Ingredients

3 poblano peppers (about 8 oz)
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 fresh turkey breast (about 1 1/4 lbs) cut into 1 inch cubes

1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
4 12-inch flour tortillas
4 oz Monterey Jack cheese, grated

To make

01. Roast poblanos on a fork directly over a gas flame, turning until all sides are charred, about 3 minutes.  Set aside to cool in a plastic bag.

02. Heat oven to 350°F.  Cook onions and garlic in olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat until translucent, 5-7 minutes.  Add turkey, raise heat to medium, and cook until meat is golden brown, 4-6 minutes.  Season; add potatoes and stock.  Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer until potatoes and turkey are cooked, 10-12 minutes.  Uncover; raise heat to medium; cook to reduce liquid, 8-10 minutes.  Peel and seed poblanos, cut in strips, and add to mixture.

03. Place a quarter of the mixture on a tortilla, midway between the center and the edge near you.  Scatter a quarter of the cheese over mixture.  Fold right and left sides of tortilla over filling and foll up tortilla away from you.  Repeat with other tortillas, place in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake to heat through, about 15 minutes.
