Notes

Warming Tortilla Options:

Microwave: Place a damp paper towel in between each tortilla, creating a stack. Microwave the stack on a microwave-safe plate for about 20-30 seconds, or until they are warm and pliable.

Stovetop - Dry Skillet: Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the tortillas on the hot surface for about 15-30 seconds per side or until they are warm and have slight char marks. Use tongs to flip them.

Oven: Preheat your oven to around 350°F (175°C). Wrap a stack of tortillas in aluminum foil. Place the foil-wrapped tortillas in the oven for about 10 minutes or until they are warmed through.

Gas Stove Flame: Using tongs, briefly pass each side of the tortilla over an open flame on a gas stove until they have a slight char. Be cautious and work quickly to avoid burning.
