This recipe starts with a base of crispy, unsalted tortilla chips, which are simmered in a medium-hot salsa with a kick of chipotles and garlic. To keep things hearty and protein-rich, we add diced cooked turkey, sautéed with red onions and diced green chiles. The star of the show, however, is the generous sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco or Cotija cheese, which melts to perfection under the broiler.

To balance the richness of the cheese, we finish the dish with dollops of crema mexicana or sour cream, and a sprinkling of fresh cilantro. This recipe serves six and clocks in at 666 calories per serving, making it a satisfying yet reasonable option for any day of the week.
