A delightful and cheesy layered tortilla bake, perfect for gatherings or a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and set aside.
Mixing the cheese ensures an even distribution of flavors.
In another bowl, mix the diced green chilies and chopped green onions.
This mixture adds a burst of flavor to each layer.
Lightly grease two 8-inch cake pans with melted butter.
Greasing prevents the tortillas from sticking.
Place one tortilla in each pan and sprinkle with a layer of the cheese mixture followed by the vegetable mixture.
Press gently to ensure even layers.
Repeat the layering process until all tortillas and fillings are used, ending with a tortilla on top.
Ensure the top layer is flat for even baking.
Brush the top tortillas with melted butter.
This step helps achieve a golden, crispy top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Let the dish cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
Cooling helps the layers set for easier slicing.
Serve with sour cream and enjoy.
Add your favorite salsa for an extra kick.
