I am trying to write a recipe in the formal command. Is this right?

Precaliente el horno a (hasta) 350 grados.
Fría tortillas hasta que ellos ellas sean suaves
All of your verbs seem conjugated to the proper formal command form.
Cocine enchiladas por 20 minutos.
Suggestion: I would write the 350°F in centigrade as well unless your only making the recipe for Latinos in the U.S.
(350 -32) x 5/9=177°C

(del) desired text or letter (/del) use greater than/less than angular brackets where I used parentheses. - 0074b507, Dec 7, 2009

Often the infinitive is used in recipes rather than the imperative form:
Precalentar... Freír... etc.
