Ingredients:

Serving

6 corn tortillas (6 inches)
oil for deep-fat frying
salt
1 lb ground turkey or beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
2 cups (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1 to 2 cans (4 oz each) chopped green chilies
6 eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
1/2 tsp salt
sliced ripe olives , optional

Directions:

Cut each tortilla into eight wedges. Saute a few at a time in hot oil until crisp. Drain on paper towels; sprinkle with salt.
In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, green pepper and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender; drain. Stir in chili powder, oregano and cumin.
In a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish, layer half of the tortilla wedges, meat mixture and cheese. Sprinkle chilies evenly over cheese. Top with the remaining meat and cheese. Tuck remaining tortilla wedges, point side up, around the edge of dish.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs, milk and salt. Pour evenly over top. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25-30 minutes. Garnish with olives if desired. Yield: 10-12 servings.
