Critical Success Points

  • Searing the meat to develop fond
  • Braising long enough for the meat to become ultra‑tender
  • Blending the chilies into a smooth puree
  • Dipping the tortilla in the hot consommé without tearing
  • Melting the Oaxaca cheese fully before folding

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard.
  • Consommé is boiling hot; handle with care to avoid burns.
  • If using a blowtorch, keep flammable objects away and work in a well‑ventilated area.
