Instructions:	Preheat oven to 375° F. In blender or food processor, process beans, milk, egg whites and 2 tablespoons of the cilantro or parsley, until smooth. Set aside. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat, add onion, peppers, vegetable stock, garlic and green chiles; cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in remaining cilantro or parsley. Place 1-1/2 cups of chopped tortilla chips in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole. Pour bean mixture over chips. Spread vegetable mixture over bean mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the cheese.
