Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a baking dish with olive oil.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.

Stir in chopped green chiles, diced onion, and bell pepper.

Add cumin, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; mix until evenly distributed.

Layer tortilla chips in the greased baking dish, breaking them into pieces as needed.

Pour the egg mixture over the tortilla chips, ensuring even coverage.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the eggs are set and the top is golden.

Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream.
