Instructions:
Prepare the Beef Mixture:
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add 1/2 onion, 1 tomato, and 1 diced Chile Sano or jalapeño. Sauté for a few minutes until softened.
Add 1 lb of ground beef and break it down with a spoon. Cook until browned.

Season with 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and salt to taste.
Stir in 1 medium diced potato and cook for 5 minutes. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Make the Egg Batter:
Separate 6 egg whites from yolks. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, whisk egg yolks with 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and salt.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture until just combined.

Assemble the Casserole:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Spread half of the egg batter evenly in the dish.
Layer with roasted and peeled poblano peppers, followed by shredded cheese, and the beef mixture.
Add another layer of poblano peppers and cover with the remaining egg batter. Top with more cheese and optional sliced Roma tomatoes.

Bake the Casserole:
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and the egg batter is set. Let it rest for 25 minutes before serving.

Make the Red Sauce:
Boil 4 Roma tomatoes, 1 Chile Sano, and 9 Chile Puyas with 1 chopped onion until soft.
Transfer to a blender with 1 garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, and 2 teaspoons salt. Blend until smooth.
Return the sauce to the pot and simmer until slightly thickened. Add a little water if needed.
