Ingredients

  • 1 10 oz. can red enchilada sauce
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
  • 10 8-inch flour tortillas
  • 3 green onions chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread a few tablespoons of enchilada sauce in bottom of lightly greased, 9-inch pie plate.
  • Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Toss cheeses together in a medium bowl.
  • Place about 1/4 cup of cheese mixture onto half of a tortilla. Fold the tortillas over to create half moons. Repeat with remaining tortillas times. You should have a bit of extra cheese.
  • Layer two quesadillas in the pie plate, overlapping a bit if needed. Spread about 3 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the quesadillas. Repeat until you have used all of the quesadillas.
  • Spoon remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the quesadilla stack and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Place the pie plate on a cookie sheet to catch any drips. Bake for about 20 minutes or until edges begin to brown and the sauce and cheese are bubbling. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing into wedges to serve. Top with favorite taco toppings, if desired.
