Making tortillas, without using oil. Rolling them up, making a sauce, and baking them.

Tomatoes, Poblano peppers, chicken breasts, and onion too. Some garlic, some seasoning, cilantro, a lime, and some tortillas.

Safety is important in the kitchen, so before you get started watch out for small children. Be careful with short knife important be careful in using burner.
