Servings: persons

4 eggs
6 egg whites
1 1/2 cups low-fat milk
1 pound extra lean ground beef cooked and drained
1 packet taco seasoning
1 red bell pepper diced
3/4 cup sliced green onions
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese reduced-fat Mexican blend, divided
9 corn tortillas
sour cream

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a large 13-inch by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
2
In a bowl, stir together ground beef and taco seasoning. Add red pepper, green onions, and 1 cup of the cheese. Toss together.
3
In a separate large bowl, beat eggs, egg whites, and milk with a whisk until combined.
4
Place 3 tortillas in the bottom of your prepared casserole dish, tearing if needed to fit the bottom of the dish.
5
Top the tortillas with half of the beef mixture. Layer 3 more tortillas on top, then top those tortillas with the remaining beef mixture. Top that layer with the 3 remaining tortillas. Pour egg mixture over tortillas. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top.
6
Cover casserole tightly and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove the cover and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the cheese on top to brown and crisp slightly.
7
Serve with salsa or diced tomatoes, sour cream, avocado, or guacamole.
