CHILLIES RELLENOS CASSEROLE
INGREDIENTS
6 corn tortillas 6-7 inches
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 pound jalapeno jack cheese grated
2 cans or 14 oz. whole green Ortega chilies, drained
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons masa harina {Mexican corn flour} or all purpose
flour
DIRECTIONS
Stack tortillas and cut into about 1 inch squares
In a large {11-12 inch} fry pan, combine 1 teaspoon oil and
the onion.
Saute the onion until limp, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat to
high and put in the tortilla pieces and cook, stirring until
they begin to brown, {about 8-10 minutes}.
Spread tortilla and onion mixture in an 8x12 inch baking dish
to about 2 inches deep.
Shred 2 cups of cheese. Sprinkle one cup over the tortilla
mixture. Cut remaining cheese into 1/4 inch strips.
Drain the chillies and stuff equally with the cheese sticks.
Place the stuffed chillies in an even layer over the top of
the tortilla layer.
Sprinkle the chiles with the chopped cilantro.
Separate the eggs and whip the whites in a mixer until the form
soft peaks. Set this aside.
With the unwashed beaters you can now beat the yolks on high
speed for about 2 minutes. Beat half of the whites in with the
yolks and then fold the remaining whites into the mixture and
pour over the chiles. Top the egg mixture with the remaining
grated cheese.
Bake in a 375 degree oven until the topping is golden brown and
feels firm when lightly touched {about 15 minutes}. Cut into
serving size squares and scoop from the casserole to serve.

the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and
the Wisdom to know the difference.
May God grant you always ...
A sunbeam to warm you, A moonbeam to charm you, A sheltering angel So
nothing can harm you, Laughter to cheer you, Faithful friends near you.And
whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you."
