Directions

  1. 1

    Pour a scant 1/4 cup sauce into the bottom of a greased round, 2-qt. casserole.

    Pour the rest of the sauce into dish deep and wide enough to dip tortillas into.
  5. 5
    Dip two tortillas in sauce and arrange in casserole; sprinkle with 1/3 of the tuna, 1/4 of the cheese, 1/3 of the onion, and a scant 1/4 cup of the sauce.
  6. 6
    Make two more layers like this and top with the last two tortillas and the remaining cheese.
  7. 7
    Pour the rest of the sauce over all and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

    It looks pretty if you sprinkle sliced black olives over the top before serving.
