Last night I adapted a recipe that was a staple in our house when I was
growing up. It originally came on the back of a package of tortillas. I
omitted olives and replaced all the dairy with fat free dairy and it came
out great! I also added frozen corn for more nutritional and taste value. I
think you may be able to substitute soy products to make it vegan, but I
have no idea how it would taste. The prep time is very quick, and it's very
easy.
Slice tortillas into one inch strips; divide into 3 piles (4 tortillas
each) Mix sour cream, milk, Egg Beaters and cayenne until frothy. In 2 or 3
quart casserole dish, layer 1/3 tortilla strips, 1/3 onions, 1/3 chiles,
1/3 corn, and cheese. Pour 1/3 sour cream mixture over layer. Repeat
layers. Cover with aluminium foil and bake in a 325F oven for 40-50
minutes, depending on the depth of your casserole dish.
The original recipe called for 3.5 cups of grated cheese--I found this to
be too much. I just put a thin layer of cheese on each layer. You can
increase or decrease the corn, chiles, and onions depending on your taste.
(Here in S. Florida, the chiles come in small cans; I think they're about
3-4 oz. and it's either El Rio or Ortega brand.)
