Spread a thin layer of sauce in all over the bottom or the pan. Soften the tortillas one by one and fill with cheese, folding into a tube and placing the seam down in the pan. Line the pan with all of the rolled up tortillas and cover the top with the rest of the sauce and then more shredded cheese. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbly.
