- Place the tortillas side by side in a lightly oiled 23 x 33cm baking dish and brush with the 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Grill until crisp and golden, 3 minutes.
- Pour the tomatillo sauce over the tortillas and top with the remaining 50g shredded cheese.
- Place under grill and leave until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Garnish with the onion rings, queso fresco and any remaining coriander.
