Smoked Sausage Chilaquiles
These Smoked Sausage Chilaquiles may not be the most traditional version of this dish, but they’re a super tasty, lighter way to eat some of your favorite Mexican flavors for breakfast! Chilaquiles usually use fried tortillas, but to make these a little healthier I baked mine instead. I also decided to throw in some smoked turkey sausage because I thought the smoky flavor would pair deliciously with salsa and because sausage always makes a good breakfast in my book. I finished my chilaquiles off with cheddar cheese, fresh avocado and a squeeze of bright lime and I think they turned out perfect. The fun with this dish is that it’s very versatile and you can really make it your own by adding or changing the mix-ins or toppings to taste. Beans, chicken, salsa verde, sour cream, pepper jack cheese – whatever you like or have on hand. Dream big!

Smoked Sausage Chilaquiles
Ingredients
- 5 6 inch corn tortillas, (I used Mission Extra Thin Yellow Corn tortillas)
- 8 oz turkey smoked sausage, chopped (I used Hillshire Farm)
- 3 cups chunky salsa
- 1 cup reduced sodium fat free chicken broth
- 4 oz 50% reduced fat sharp cheddar, shredded (I used Cabot)
- 1 medium avocado, cut into cubes (to keep these from browning you can toss them in a bit of lime juice)
- 6 lime wedges
- Optional: chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350. Cut your tortillas into strips (mine were about 1” by 3” strips). Spread the tortilla strips onto a large baking sheet and lightly mist with cooking spray. Bake for 13-15 minutes until crisp. Set aside.
- Mist a large skillet with cooking spray and bring over medium heat and add the chopped sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the sausage pieces are a bit browned. Remove sausage to a side plate.
- Keep the skillet over medium heat and add the salsa. Bring to a simmer. Add the broth and stir together. Return to a simmer and simmer uncovered for 2 minutes. Add the browned sausage pieces and stir together. Add the baked tortilla strips and stir until well combined. Return to a simmer and simmer uncovered for about 3 minutes until the tortillas soften and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with the shredded cheddar while the mixture is still hot Top with the chopped avocado and cilantro if using. Serve with a lime wedge to squeeze over top.

I’m so happy you liked it!
I love this recipe, has such great flavor and you can make it as spicy as you want based off the salsa you use! I love mine extra spicy so we use the 505 salsa! Thanks Emily your recipes are a staple in my home!
