LOL... Ate it last night. Didn't get around to posting it until this morning. 

That'd be a pretty delicious breakfast though. I think @OrangeAfroMan would agree, and would support my not adding the runny egg.

Made a batch of turkey mole' enchiladas the other night with some leftover BBQ turkey and the homemade turkey stock my wife made from the T-day carcasses.

Delicious.

Sorry, no pics.  It was gone before the dish even hit the countertop.

I've had it before there, but this time took a pic so I would remember to order some.

Geeez us, I can get it by the half gallon

How do you make your chili? As I think both utee and I have mentioned, tri tip isn't necessarily the cut of meat we'd choose for chili. 

When I cook tri tip, I cook it to med rare and slice it 1/4" thick. It's a bit lean so I don't want to overcook it, which would happen IMHO if it were cubed and cooked slow in chili. I'd worry it would end up with a "dried out / overcooked" consistency. I could see throwing it in small-cubed at the very end, but then it doesn't really infuse the flavor...

So just wondering what your recipe/method is that works well with tri tip?

Yup I agree, tri-tip isn't my choice for chili.  A little too lean, not enough fat and connective tissue for a long braise.

it usually comes in about 3/8ths cubed and is in the simmering pot 3 hours

definitely not dried out

I made "refrigerator soup" with the leftover turkey, it was pretty good.

Never tried it.  I'd imagine it's about the same as the jarred or canned "enchilada sauce" you can buy at the store.  Which isn't horrible, but it's not great either...
