Critical Success Points

  • Season the chicken before cooking for optimal flavor.
  • Cover the vegetables while cooking so they become tender without burning.
  • Press the tortillas during assembly so the cheese melts and the two layers stick.

Safety Warnings

  • Watch out for hot oil splatters.
  • Use a sharp knife to avoid slipping.
