I made this recently, it is are sooooo good! The tortillas are warmed separately and then the cheese/corn mixture in baked in a baking dish and the mixture is spooned on top of the warm tortillas. Make certain to only use firm plum tomatoes, any other kind of tomato will become too soft. Serve the tortillas and the casserole separately at the table, and then assemble on your plate. Ingredients:
2 -4 tablespoons oil |
1 large red bell pepper, chopped (use a very large pepper or use 2 smaller bell peppers) |
3 cups grated monterey jack cheese |

1 cup caned creamed corn |
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped |

1 (4 ounce) can mild green chilies, chopped |
1/3 cup chopped green olives (pimiento-stuffed) |
