I think everyone needs a few crazy-easy go-to recipes up their sleeve for those nights that we can’t seem to get our act together to get dinner on the table. Now I’m not talking about my slew of quick dinner recipes. Although those are fantastic, in this particular situation, I’m referring more to something that is so stupid-easy to make that no matter how rough the day was, failure to plan simply doesn’t matter.

3. Sprinkle a layer of cheese onto the tortillas (to your taste).
4. Sprinkle whatever fillings you are using onto the cheese.
5. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top of the fillings (to help the top tortillas stick).
6. Lightly spray the tops of the tortillas with cooking spray to help them brown a bit.

8. Cool for 5 minutes, slice into wedges with a pizza wheel and serve immediately with whatever sauces and sides you enjoy.
