2. Shred both cheeses and mix together in a bowl.

5. Dip heated tortilla in the sauce and then slide into a square or rectangular shaped casserole dish.
6. Fill tortilla with olives, onion and cheese.
7. Couple of hints: Line everything up in bowls close to the stove by the baking dish so that everything is in one place; When you think you have added enough filling, add a little more.
