A few quick notes
1. 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.
2. Keep the lid step in mind
Have the lid or covering ready before you need it. Follow the covered and uncovered parts of the method in their own order, especially when the finish changes partway through.
3. Get the oven ready first
Start with the oven-preheating step in the recipe. Then use the preparation steps that follow to get the food ready for the hot oven.

A little more help as you go
Set out the first ingredients

Set up the coating steps in order
Read the coating sequence and set its ingredients out in that order. Keep the preparation and cooking steps separate so you can finish each piece the same way.
Set out the finishing ingredient
Keep the finishing ingredient within reach while the main preparation is going on. Add it at the step in the method so the last job is easy to complete.
A few questions you might have
What should I get ready before starting?
Set out the oven. Read the first preparation step before you get going: Toss panko with seasoning, oil spray, bake 7 min at 200°C/400°F (180°C fan).
Which little step is worth remembering?
Keep the tortilla-warming step close to serving. Get the filling through its cooking steps first, then follow the method for warming and filling.
What check should I look for as it cooks?
Keep this part of the method in view: Dredge batter - Whisk the Dredge ingredients in a bowl until lump free (it will seem too thick at first, trust, it will thin to maple syrup constancy).
Is there another preparation step to plan for?
Look through the first cooking step and have its ingredients ready before you begin. It is easier to give the pan your attention when you are not still looking for the next item.
