Ingredients
- 1 can (10 oz) Old El Paso™ Mild Red Enchilada Sauce
- Canola oil
- 1 package (8.2 oz) Old El Paso™ Flour Tortillas for Soft Tacos and Fajitas (10 count)
- 2 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (10 oz)
- 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles

Instructions
-
Step1Heat oven to 375°F. Spoon a few tablespoons enchilada sauce in bottom of 9-inch pie plate; set aside.
-
Step2Heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; coat bottom of skillet lightly with canola oil.
-
Step3Fold 2 tortillas in half to make half-moons, and place in skillet. Carefully open tortillas, and place 3 tablespoons cheese in each tortilla, along with a small spoonful of green chiles, and fold the tops over. Cook quesadillas on each side until golden and cheese is melty; remove from skillet. Repeat 4 times.

Step4Shingle quesadillas into pie plate, overlapping each a bit. Spoon remaining enchilada sauce over quesadillas, letting it seep between each quesadilla; sprinkle remaining cheese over top, and place pie plate on cookie sheet.

Step5Bake about 20 minutes or until edges begin to brown and sauce and cheese are bubbling. Cool about 5 minutes before serving. Serve with remaining ingredients.
