Mexican Strata

Agate Cove Recipes : Mexican Strata

Each strata yields about 6 substantial slices.

Ingredients
6	corn tortillas, 8”
4 oz	green chiles, drained and chopped
1	bell pepper, red or yellow, diced
2 cups	pepper Jack & cheddar cheeses, grated
1/4 cup	green onions (optional)

Wet Ingredients
2	eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups	milk
1 Tbsp	cumin powder

Directions
Grease a round baking dish. Put a layer of tortillas on the bottom of the dish, completely covering bottom (Ok to overlap). Sprinkle generously with jack and cheddar cheese; add chiles, and bell peppers. Repeat another layer (2 layers total), ending with diced bell peppers and chiles & onions (optional), topped with cheese. Combine the eggs, milk, cumin, and salt, and pour it over the layers – carefully so you don’t mess up the top layer. Cover with Saran Wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the Saran Wrap, and bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the strata is slightly puffed and bubbly. Let the strata cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
