Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner With A Mexican Spin At Tacos & Tequila
Executive Chef Saul Ortiz puts a Mexican spin on the traditional turkey dinner with the creation of the Turkey Tinga Enchiladas and Turkey Tinga Torta available exclusively during the month of November at Tacos & Tequila (T&T) inside Luxor Hotel and Casino.
Tinga is a traditional preparation style in which tender, shredded meat is sautéed with tomatoes, onion, garlic and chipotle adobo to embrace the flavors of Mexico City. Priced at $16, the Turkey Tinga Enchiladas are a savory combination of slow braised turkey, chile pasilla sauce, Oaxaca cheese blend and crema fresca.
The delightful Turkey Tinga Torta, priced at $13, is made with slow braised turkey, chipotle aioli, lettuce and tomato served on fresh bolillo bread. For a sweet after-dinner treat, the restaurant will offer a delicious pumpkin pie shooter mixed with Patron XO, Bailey’s Irish cream and Goldshlager, priced at $9.
