You can control the hotness of this make ahead recipe by the number of chiles you add.

Ingredients

2 or 3 cans (7 ounces each) whole green chiles

4 Corn tortillas cut in wide strips

1 pound Jack cheese, shredded

2 Tomatoes sliced

8 Eggs

1/2 cup Milk

1/2 teaspoon Each salt, pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder and Paprika

Preparation

Remove seeds from chiles, if desired. Lay half the chiles in the bottom of a well-greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with half the tortilla strips and half the cheese. Arrange tomato slices on top. Repeat layers.
Beat together the eggs, milk and spices. Pour evenly over casserole. Sprinkle lightly with paprika; cover and chill ahead if desired.
Bake, uncovered in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes (allow one hour if cold) or until puffy and set in the center. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Cook's Notes

My husband likes a side dish of Mexican rice (I use a mix) and a tossed green salad.
