Ingredients
  

  • 16 corn tortillas (6-inch size)
  • 12 oz. enchilada sauce
  • 14 oz. canned diced green chiles (undrained)
  • 8 oz. sharp cheddar (or Mexican blend cheese, shredded)
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1¼ cup 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Set aside ⅓ cup of the enchilada sauce and ½ cup of the cheese.
  • Spray a 9x13" pan with nonstick spray.
  • Spoon a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of the baking pan. Then build a layer of 4 tortillas (tear them as needed to cover the surface of the pan), ⅓ the remaining cheese, ⅓ the green chiles, and a thin layer of enchilada sauce. Repeat this layer 2 more times.
  • Add the remaining 4 tortillas to the top of the casserole.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, milk, flour, and salt with a whisk until no lumps remain. Pour the mixture over the casserole.
  • Refrigerate the casserole for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Remove casserole from the refrigerator and pour over the reserved enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with the reserved cheese. Cover the casserole with foil and bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 450°F. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden. Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving for easier serving.
