Hello and welcome to another round of Mexican Meatless Monday!
This week’s recipe is actually inspired by last week’s Chili Rellenos. Even though they were easy, it can get messy to make rellenos. Today I made a dish that gives you similar flavors in a one dish kinda platform.
Green Chili Casserole
Ingredients:
4 eggs or 1 1/3 c egg beaters
7 oz. can diced green chili
1/2 c cottage cheese
1/2 c corn salsa (drained if it is in juice)
1/2 c shredded cheddar
Directions:
Whisk eggs. Add the remained ingredients except shredded cheese. Mix. 
Pour into a sprayed pie pan. 
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until set. It may be a little juicy from the chili and cottage cheese, but be sure the egg is set. It’s okay to be juicy though 
Let sit for 10 minutes to cool. 
Serve with ketchup and a tortilla. 
Speaking of Meatless Mondays (and all other days of the week, actually)…I was lucky enough to get a copy of No Meat Athlete’s new Marathon Roadmap e-book!
Since I recently started eating chicken again I wasn’t sure what to expect from the book…
Guilt? Vegetarian propaganda? 501 ways to make Tofu?
I didn’t get any of that. But what I did get was a pretty solid resource for marathon training in general. The book is broken down into 4 sections:
1. Making it real: Goals and Commitments
2. The Training
3. The Diet
4. The Race
Turns out there is only one section completely dedicated to vegetarianism’s benefits. ( Note: I totally agree with most of them and am just working through my own stuff right now. )
My favorite part of the book was the last section where Matt breaks down final preparations, foods, tips and tricks for the actual race. LOVED this! I’m currently training for marathon #4 and still found it super helpful.

See you in the morning!
I made this for dinner tonight. I used greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese because that’s what I had on hand and mixed canned corn with a jarred salsa as well. It was delicious! I added some hot sauce and sliced avocado on the top to give it some extra flavor (and color). I love these simple Trader Joe’s recipes! Keep me coming 🙂
Thanks! Glad you liked it 🙂
OMG the egg casserole w/ cottage cheese is amazing. I want some.
that casserole looks awesome!!!
That casserole looks so yummy! Can’t wait to try it!
I was a vegetarian for a long time too; more for “gross out” factor then anything..and I still have my moments. That book looks really interesting, I’ll have to check it out.
That looks delicious!
Random thought from this post: It looks like your manicure is holding up! 🙂
(Re:manicure) Yes! I have no idea why because usually my nails are chipped the next day!
I love using green chilis so I’ll have to make this casserole soon!
That looks so delicious and so cozy!
Love this recipe!!! These dishes are always so easy and taste amazing.
This casserole looks yummy…and it seems easy enough that even I can handle it…hehe!
Which full did you sign up for? Any tips for picking your first full? I think I’m ready for it 🙂
I recently found your blog from CNC! I had plans to run my first full until I got injured, major bummer 🙁 Always love reading about other runners 🙂 this blog is very timely for me. I have been wanting to find a egg casserole and I love green chiles! Can’t wait to try this!
Hi Tricia,
I got injured while training for my first full. You’ll bounce back, be patient 🙂
Thanks for reading!
I wish I had read that book when I was training for Long Beach last year. I still want to read it though!
When I read “Mexican Meatless Monday”, I immediately tacked on “with Monica” to the end. So Random.
I love alliterations, so that’s an added bonus!!!
I love making egg casseroles like that where you just mix everything together and bake it. Yum!
I actually just signed up for my first marathon, the MCM, later this year. I’m excited/scared/freaking out. I should read that book!
