in an ovenproof dish, spread a ladle of sauce at the bottom .
hold the tortilla in your palm or put on a plate . stuff with the

tablespoon of the sauce over it, roll it up.
similarly ,arrange required number of tortillas in the dish.
liberally pour the sauce over them, sprinkle little bit of cheese and
bake at medium hot oven (180 degrees) for 10-15 minutes ...(keep
an eye on it....the cheese melts beautifully is a good sign that its
heated through!) BUT.BE ULTRA CAREFUL THAT YOU ARE NOT CLOSE TO THE
