    | 1. In a small frying pan, heat about 1/4 inch salad oil (Mexicans prefer the flavor and texture from using lard) over medium heat. Dip each tortilla into oil and fry a few seconds, until it begins to blister and becomes limp -- be careful not to fry until firm or crisp. Add more oil as needed. Remove with tongs and drain briefly. | 2. As soon as you take the tortilla out of the hot fat, dip it into the heated sauce. A cake pan just larger than the tortilla is ideal for holding sauce. | 3. Lay fried and sauced tortilla in a small, shallow, ungreased baking dish; spoon over surface about 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar, about 2 tablespoons chopped green onion, and a little of the chile sauce. Add remaining tortillas, preparing each layer the same way. | 4. Pour remaining sauce over stack, and top with remaining cheese. | 5. Bake, uncovered, in a 350° oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until hot. | 6. Cut in wedges to serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
