  5. Layer last 4 tortilla halves on top, cover with remaining salsa and cheese.
  6. Cover and bake for 40 minutes or until heated through. Remove cover and bake 10 more minutes so cheese melts.

This is so amazing! You can tone down the spice if you prefer by using mild salsa. My husband doesn't care for cilantro so next time I will cut this in half. Also thinking you might not need those last tortillas so will try that.

Not sure the counts. Recipe said it serves 6. We could have eaten that much but probable should serve 12. Not sure how to count the salsa and chiles but otherwise thinking 2 protein and 1 fat and 2 carbs. I am a protein so need to lessen the carbs. Hope you like!
