Sounds good, except I wouldn't use any oil to heat the tortillas, but instead I would use a DRY fry pan with no oil on high heat. The tortilla heats up in about 10 seconds, if that. Do both sides, then make the roll. Also, I heard that if you cook the "seedless" Jalepenos over an open flame (BBQ grill, gas stove, etc.), then peel the cooked skin off, then slice it up, they won't be as spicy, yet still full of flavor. This technique works great with bell pepper also.
