Nonstick spray coating

1 1/2 cups frozen whole kernel corn

6 6 inch corn tortillas

1 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese -- (4 ounces)

1/2 cup sliced green onions

4 ounces canned diced green chili peppers -- drained

1/4 cup finely chopped red sweet pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

1/3 cup salsa

Delve into this Southwestern-style strata and you'll find layers of corn

tortillas, mozzarella cheese, and vegetables all baked in a savory custard.

 

Spray a 2-quart square baking dish with nonstick coating. In a medium

saucepan cook corn according to package directions; drain well. Tear

tortillas into bite-size pieces. Arrange half of the tortillas in baking

dish. Top with half of the cheese, half of the corn, half of the green

onions, half of the chili peppers, and half of the red sweet

pepper. Repeat the layers using the remaining tortillas, cheese, corn,

green onions, chili peppers, and sweet pepper.

 

In a medium mixing bowl beat together the buttermilk, egg whites, whole

egg, and garlic salt, Pour over tortilla mixture.

 

Bake, uncovered, in a 325F oven about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted

near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before

serving. To serve, cut casserole into triangles. If desired, garnish with

parsley. Serve with salsa. Makes 4 main-dish servings.

 

Note: You may substitute 1/4 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product,

thawed, for the egg whites and whole egg.
