Ingredients
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 (7 oz) can diced green chiles or 3–4 roasted poblano or Anaheim chiles, sliced
• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican blend cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• ¼ cup flour (or use almond flour for low-carb)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• Fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, and optional salsa for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion until browned. Drain excess grease and season with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Layer half of the green chiles in the bottom of the dish. Top with beef mixture, half of the cheese, then the rest of the chiles.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, and baking powder. Pour over the layers in the baking dish.
Top with remaining cheese and bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and set.
Let cool for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and jalapeños. Serve with salsa or sour cream.
