Prep Time

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup white onion, chopped
- 1 cup yellow squash, sliced
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- 2 cups Mexican calabacitas, sliced
- 1 cup frozen sweet corn
- 1 chopped fresh green chile
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
- Salt to taste (about 1.5 teaspoons)
- 8 ounces shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 can mushroom soup (or celery soup)
- 1 cup salsa verde
- 1/2 cup water or vegetable broth
- 12 corn tortillas
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions, yellow squash, zucchini, calabacitas, sweet corn, and green chile.
- Season with cumin and salt.
- Add the minced garlic
- Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until squash is tender.
- Add the soup of your choice.
- Add the broth and water.
- Mix well.
- Layer a 9 x 12 casserole dish with 4 corn tortillas.
- Then add one 1/4 of squash mixture. Spread it evenly over the tortillas.
- Add cheese.
- Repeat for three full layers. Leaving enough cheese for the top of the casserole.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree F. oven for about 35 minutes on the center rack. Baker until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- Tip: I like using roasted frozen corn in this recipe. For a SPICY version of this recipe I recommend using one jalapeño or serrano instead ALONG WITH THE GREEN CHILE. Carefully mince the jalapeño making sure to spread the heat throughout the dish.
