Top each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the sausage mixture.

Each stack should be 3 tortillas and 2 layers of filling.
Press firmly down on the top of each stack.
Lightly oil the grill or griddle and cook the stacks for about 3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Cut each into 4 pieces.
Place on a serving platter and garnish with the cilantro.
