Instructions

put cranberries, apple, chile, sugar, ginger, cilantro and lime or lemon juice in food processor and pulse until coarsely shredded (about 10 short pulses). let sit 15 minutes for cranberries to macerate.

heat large frying pan on medium high heat. unless using freshly made homemade tortillas, you will need to soften them first.

place small amount (1/2 teaspoon) of oil in pan and spread to coat bottom of pan. place tortilla in pan and let it heat up until bubbles start to form; then flip over.

sprinkle grated cheese on half of tortilla; top with chopped cooked turkey. fold empty half of tortilla over side with cheese and turkey (like an omelette); cook until cheese begins to melt; then flip taco over so that tortilla browns on other side as well. continue cooking tacos in this manner.
