Torn Tortilla Casserole - from Angel

 from the "honest pretzels" cookbook by mollie katzen (kid's cooking cook book ages 8 and up)

oil for the pan
12 corn tortillas
2 cups monterey jack cheese (about 8 oz)
4 eggs
3/4 teaspoons salt
2 cups buttermilk
paprika for the top

on the side, if you want: salsa and/or sour cream

turn oven to 350 to preheat. oil a 9 by 13 baking pan. tear 6 tortillas into bite sized pieces and distribute over bottom of pan. put half the cheese on top. tear 6 more tortillas and distribute over cheese/tortillas and top with remaining cheese.

break 4 eggs into a bowl, put salt in. pour buttermilk into eggs (i used regular milk with half a lemon squeezed in b/c i don't buy buttermilk usually). beat eggs and milk together and pour over the top of the tortillas/cheese. sprinkle paprika on top.

bake at 350 for 40 minutes, cut into squares and (preferably) serve hot with salsa and sour cream.
