My grandmother always fixed this for special occasions and it was always a hit. It takes the southern zucchini casserole dish and adds a Mexican flair.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound zucchini, sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 cups sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 (6 inch) corn tortillas, cut into wedges
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet; cook and stir zucchini, onion, and bell pepper in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in green chiles, eggs, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper; set aside. Mix sour cream and flour in a bowl.
Layer half the corn tortillas in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread half the zucchini mixture and half the sour cream mixture on top; sprinkle with half the Cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers.
Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.
