Directions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and serranos; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the peppers are softened, about 5 minutes. Add corn and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lime zest and lime juice.
Transfer half of the corn mixture to a blender; add milk. Secure the lid on the blender and remove the center piece to allow steam to escape. Place a clean towel over the opening. Process on medium speed until mostly smooth, about 15 seconds. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.) Transfer to a large bowl; stir in eggs, cilantro, 3/4 cup sour cream and the remaining corn mixture. Add flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and 1/4 teaspoon chile powder; stir to mix well. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Bake until lightly browned and set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Combine water and the remaining 1/4 cup sour cream in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Drizzle the mixture over the casserole and sprinkle with cotija and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon chile powder. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
To make ahead
Refrigerate baked casserole for up to 2 days; reheat, covered, in a 325°F oven.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
