- 1 1/2 cups frozen sweet corn, thawed
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions
Preheat oven to 400˚ F.
Toss squash in 1 tablespoon oil and salt. Roast on a baking sheet for 30 minutes or until soft and nicely browned.
Heat remaining oil over medium heat and add onions, green peppers, corn, garlic, cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Sauté until onions are soft, about 8 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix together cotija cheese and cheddar cheese.
In a 9- by 13-inch baking pan, layer 1/2 of the corn tortillas, squash, green chiles, onion mixture, roasted peppers, cheddar/cotija mixture and cream cheese mixture. Repeat, setting aside a bit of the onion and cheddar/cotija mixture for the top of the casserole.
