Ingredients

  • 1 pound of fresh turkey or chicken Italian sausage links
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 1 cup of fresh, ripe tomatoes (peeled, seeded, & chopped)
  • 4 green onions (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro (chopped)

  • Raise the heat to medium-high.
  • Cover and let it simmer for ten minutes.
  • Stir in the lime juice.
  • Cover again and continue to simmer for another three to five minutes.
  • Have the tortillas warmed and ready.
  • Place a sausage in a tortilla.
  • Spoon on some of the mixture and sprinkle on some of the grated cheese.
