A few quick notes
1. Give the food its space
Arrange the food in the layer the method calls for. If you increase the portions, check the pan or basket space before cooking so you can keep that arrangement.
2. Warm the tortillas near the finish
Keep the tortilla-warming step close to serving. Get the filling through its cooking steps first, then follow the method for warming and filling.
3. Remember the turn or stir
Set a reminder for the turn or stir mentioned in the method. It is an easy small step to miss while you are getting the table ready.
