Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F. Coat a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large skillet on medium heat. Add yellow squash, zucchini, onions and jalapeno and saute until onions are translucent and squash is soft, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Add garlic, cumin, chili powder and cayenne and cook 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Stir in the flour and cook until a light brown paste forms, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Stir in broth and tomatoes and stir until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the half-and-half, sour cream and cilantro and turn off heat.
Step 7
In the casserole dish, layer the bottom with the crushed tortilla chips. Pour squash mixture on top of the chips and then cover the squash with the grated cheeses.
Step 8
Cook, uncovered, in oven for 30 minutes, or until top is brown and bubbling.
