How to Make Chilies Rellenos Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slit each chili lengthwise and spread open to flatten slightly.
  3. Place green chilies in a single layer in a greased 7x11 inch glass baking dish.
  4. In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and cook until tender (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Stir in the cooked onion mixture, 1 cup crumbled tortilla chips, and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the chilies in the baking dish.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa.
  10. To reheat leftovers: Cover and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through. Serve hot with sour cream and salsa.
