Combine the chicken mixture with the cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and refried beans in a bowl. Stir well and set aside. Arrange half of the green chile strips in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish and top with half of the cheese. Spoon the bean mixture onto the cheese and spread gently, leaving a ¼-inch border around the edge of the dish. Top with the corn. Arrange the remaining chile strips over the corn and top with the remaining cheese. Set aside. Combine the flour and salt in a bowl and gradually add the milk and hot sauce, stirring with a wire whisk until blended. Stir in the eggs and egg whites, then pour over the casserole. Bake at 350F for 1 hour and 5 minutes, until set. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Makes 6 servings (3½-inch square).
