Lunchbox cottage pies

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
To make the tomato-chilli sauce: Blend the tomatoes with the juice. Transfer to a wide pan and simmer over a high heat. After 5 minutes, reduce the heat and add the chilli, garlic and a pinch of salt.
Simmer for about 15 minutes or until reduced to a suitable sauce consistency. Discard the chilli and add the chopped coriander and olive oil. Simmer for a few minutes and check seasoning.
To assemble: Place a tortilla on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and spread with a layer of thick cheese filling. Top with a second tortilla. Repeat in layers to the thickness you require but leave the top tortilla plain. Spoon over the tomato-chilli sauce.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until heated through and the cheese fi lling is melting. Carefully slide on to a serving plate.
Allow to stand for about 5 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife. Garnish with coriander and serve hot.
