  6. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the sausage layer.
  7. Place 2 more tortillas on top of the cheese, overlapping to cover.
  8. Spread the refried beans evenly over the tortillas.
  9. Place 2 more tortillas on top of the beans.
  10. Arrange the drained roasted red peppers evenly over the tortillas.
