Easy Dinner Idea

My husband works 12 hour shifts so on his work days it is just the kids and I at dinner time.  Here is one of my go to meals for those evenings.  For the kids:  Crisp Cheesy Roll Ups and fresh fruit and for me: Easy Stacked Enchiladas.
Cheesy Roll Ups How To:
You need: white corn tortillas and shredded cheese and sour cream for dipping (optional)  
        
  Warm a white corn tortilla for 10 seconds in the microwave (this makes it pliable so it won't tear)
   Put some shredded cheese on the warmed tortilla (more or less depending on what your kids like)   Roll up tightly and place seam side down on a lightly greased cookie sheet.                                   
4. Bake for 10 minutes at 350

Easy Stacked Enchiladas How To:
You need: white corn tortillas, one small can diced green chiles, 1/2 can of diced tomatos and shredded cheese, sour cream (optional)

  Combine and warm up one small can of diced green chiles with 1/2 can of diced tomatos
 Lay a  corn tortilla on lightly greased baking sheet and cover tortilla lightly with shredded cheese, then add a spoonful of warmed green chile/tomato mixture
  Lay the next tortilla down on top of mixture and cover that tortilla with shredded cheese and a spoonful of warm green chile/tomato mixture
  Lay the next tortilla down on the stack and cover with shredded cheese and a spoonful of green chile/tomato mixture
I stop at two or three tortilla layers but by all means keep stacking as your apptetite dictates!
Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes until heated through and cheese has melted

ENJOY!
