Provided by Stephanie Dodd

Categories     Casseroles

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 corn tortillas
1 1/2 c shredded monterey jack cheese
1 c frozen corn
4 green onions, sliced; about 1/2 cup
2 eggs, beaten
1 c buttermilk
4 oz diced green chilies

Steps:

  • 1. Tear four tortillas into bite-sized pieces. Arrange in greased 2 quart baking dish. Top with half the cheese, half the corn, and half the green onions. Repeat the layers.

  • 3. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn tortillas: Fresh corn tortillas will give your casserole the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh corn tortillas, you can use store-bought corn tortillas, but be sure to heat them up before using them.
  • Don't overcook the tortillas: Overcooked tortillas will become tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are heated through and slightly softened.
  • Use a variety of fillings: You can use any type of filling you like in your corn tortilla casserole. Some popular options include: cooked chicken, beef, or pork; black beans; corn; tomatoes; onions; and peppers. You can also add cheese, sour cream, or salsa to taste.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown: The casserole is done baking when it is golden brown and bubbly. The cheese should be melted and the filling should be heated through.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving so that it has time to set. This will help prevent it from falling apart when you cut into it.

Conclusion:

Corn tortilla casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover corn tortillas, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like it mild or spicy, cheesy or vegetarian, there is a corn tortilla casserole recipe out there for everyone.
