Tips:

Use day-old tortillas for the best texture. Fresh tortillas may be too soft and can easily break apart.
Heat the tortillas in a skillet or on a griddle before assembling the pie to make them more pliable and less likely to crack.
Don't overfill the pie with layers. Leave some space between the layers so that the filling can spread out and cook evenly.
Bake the pie in a preheated oven to ensure that it cooks through evenly.
Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
