Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from skillet; let cool. Shred chicken with 2 forks; set aside.

Recoat skillet with cooking spray; place over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 5 minutes or until tender. Add shredded chicken, beer, red pepper and tomatoes; cook 10 minutes or until most of liquid evaporates. Remove from heat. Reserve 1 tablespoon green onions and 1 tablespoon olives for garnish. Stir remaining green onions, remaining olives and chiles into chicken mixture; set aside.

Combine flour, salt, cumin and coriander in a medium saucepan. Gradually add hot milk mixture to egg whites, stirring constantly with whisk. Set aside.

Places cheeses in a bowl; toss well. Set aside.

Spread 1/2 cup white sauce in bottom of a 2 1/2-quart round casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange 4 tortilla halves over sauce; top with 2 cups chicken mixture, 1/2 cup white sauce and 1/2 cup cheese mixture.  Repeat layers twice, ending with sauce. Set remaining 1/2 cup cheese mixture aside.

Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese mixture, reserved green onions and reserved olives; bake an additional 5 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before servings. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

* NOTE: You can assemble the casserole ahead of time; cover and chill in the refrigerator overnight, then bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until bubbly.
