Spread half of the remaining yogurt-flour mixture over this. Top with remaining tortilla strips, followed by the remaining yogurt-flour mixture and jack cheese.

Continue to bake until mixture is golden brown on top and appears firm in the center when the dish is gently shaken (15 to 20 more minutes).
