Meatless Monday: Cheddar Corn Bake

I just read a few more statistics about why a “Meatless Monday”. The United Nations states animal farming has “deep and wide-ranging” impacts that make it a target for major environmental policy. (You won’t tell the Pioneer Woman that I mentioned this, will you? *wink*)

Anyway, I do think that forgoing the meat at least once a week has positive impacts for both the environment and your personal health.

Cheddar Corn Bake Serves 4

1 Onion thinly sliced

2 Cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 T Chili powder

1 t Oregano

1 10 oz bag frozen corn (OR substitute 3 cups Fresh when in season – just scrape off the cob!)

3 eggs

2 egg whites

1 C Cheddar, shredded (I used a mix of cheddar and pepper jack)

6 Corn Tortillas

1. Heat 2 t oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, chile powder, and oregano. Saute until onions are soft.

2. In medium size bowl, mix corn, eggs, egg white and 1/2 cheese. Add onion mixture and stir well.

3. Spray a 9×9 pan with non-stick spray. Cut the tortillas into long strips. Lay 1/2 tortilla strips in bottom of pan. Pour egg mixture over. Top with second 1/2 of tortillas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

4. Bake at 375 for 30 to 40 minutes. Enjoy!
