1 lb ground beef	Can whole green chilies
1/4 cup chopped onion	6 eggs, separated
4 bay leaves	2 Tblsp flour
1/4 tsp thyme	3/4 tsp salt
1/2 lb frozen peas/carrots	1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 lb white cheese

Brown meat (could use shredded chicken); add onion, laurel, thyme, vegetables, and water. Split chilies and rinse out seeds. Pat dry and cut into strips. Beat 6 egg whites until stiff. Beat egg yolks with flour, salt, and pepper until creamy. Fold two egg mixtures together. Place 1/3 egg mixture on bottom of pan; place half meat and cheese, then half of chili strips. Repeat layers reserving enough egg mixture for top layer. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. This recipe is a family favorite of my Guatemalan friend.
