How to Make Cheese Stack

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 16 ounces (2 cups) cottage cheese, 1 1/2 cups sour cream, 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup chopped green chilies.
  3. Lightly grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate or a similar-sized baking dish.
  4. Place one 6-inch flour tortilla in the prepared pie plate.
  5. Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla.
  6. Repeat layers (tortilla, cheese mixture) twice, ending with a tortilla on top.
  7. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before garnishing.
  9. Garnish the top with 1/4 cup sliced black olives, 2 tablespoons chopped scallions, and 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes.
  10. Cut into wedges and serve warm with extra sour cream, if desired.
