Critical Success Points

  • Blanch the chestnuts to make them tender
  • Prepare a lump‑free béchamel
  • Layer the tortillas correctly with enough béchamel to prevent them from drying out
  • Final cooking until a well‑golden surface is achieved

Safety Warnings

  • Watch out for boiling water splashes when blanching the chestnuts
  • Handle the hot oven (200°C) with kitchen gloves
  • The béchamel is very hot; avoid burns by stirring it
