Puffy Chile Rellenos Casserole

Ingredients

  • 6 cans (4 ounces each) whole green chilies, drained
  • 8 flour tortillas (6 inches), cut into 1-inch strips
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 3 cups egg substitute
  • 3/4 cup fat-free milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup salsa

Directions

  • Cut along one side of each chili and open to lie flat. Coat a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish with cooking spray. Layer half of the chilies, tortilla strips, mozzarella and cheddar cheeses in prepared dish. Repeat layers.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg substitute, milk, garlic powder, cumin, pepper and salt. Pour over cheese. Sprinkle with paprika.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until puffy and a knife inserted 2 in. from the edge of the pan comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with salsa. Yield: 12 servings.
When cutting hot peppers, disposable gloves are recommended. Avoid touching your face. (yeah been there done that)
