Do not skip the resting period, or your casserole will slide off the plate like a sad puddle of cheese.
Pro Tip
Shred your own Monterey Jack cheese from a block if you want superior melting power over the bagged pre-shredded stuff.

Forgetting to cover the dish for the first 55 minutes, resulting in a scorched, rock-hard tortilla crust that could double as medieval armor.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why we are baking this instead of rolling it; he said, 'Efficiency is for commoners, but we are too busy counting taxes to roll tortillas!'

Dairy fats in the sour cream and Monterey Jack cheese insulate the moisture in the tortillas, keeping them soft rather than leathery while baking.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300ยฐF (150ยฐC) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
