Translating recipes

Hello! I am translating some recipes. Does any of this sound unnatural or have any errors?

Mezclar pollo, frijoles, maíz, arroz y salsa y calentar esta preparación en la microondas o un cazo. Envolver en toallita húmeda las tortillas y calentarlas en la microondas por 10-15 segundas. Poner ½ taza de la mezcla de pollo en el centro de cada tortilla y cubrirla en queso rallado. Enrollarlas como burrito y desfrutar una cena o almuerza sabrosa y saludable.
y tambien:

Envolver en toallita húmeda las tortillas y calentarlas en la microondas por 10-15 segundas. Llenar cada tortilla con pollo y adornarse con queso, crema agria, lechuga, tomates y salsa para la fajita más rápida alguna vez has tenido.
In the past part, I am trying to say, "...the fastest fajitas you've ever had."


Thank you!

Chileno's corrections seem to be totally in order.

Just in the last section, I'd say,
para la fajita más rápida que hayas cocinado/preparado alguna vez.
or,
para la fajita más rápida que hayas hecho/tomado alguna vez.

Welcome to the forums, by the way!

Well, you're welcome! (In the other sense of 'welcome' here! )
