Burrito, taco, quesadilla, or enchilada ingredients(as needed, according to recipe)
Instructions
Heat a pan that is larger than the diameter of your tortillas over medium to medium-high heat. There is no need to oil the pan, or even spray it with nonstick spray.
When the pan is hot, place the tortilla directly into the pan, and heat for about 45 seconds, until the bottom is browned in spots.
Use tongs or a fork to flip it over and warm the other side for about 45 seconds.
Remove the tortilla to a plate or a clean surface, and repeat with the rest of the tortillas. You can stack them as they are heated.
Notes
How to Heat Tortillas Over a Gas Stove
If you have a gas stove (with a real flame), you can use it to warm tortillas. Turn your gas burner to medium, so that the flame just barely reaches the top of the grate.
Place a tortilla directly onto the burner and heat for about 15 seconds, until the bottom is browned in spots.
Then use tongs to flip it over and toast the other side for about 15 seconds.
Remove the tortilla to a plate or a clean surface, and repeat with the rest of the tortillas. You can stack them as they are heated.
How to Heat Tortillas on the Grill
Heat your grill to medium. (This works with a gas, charcoal, or pellet grill.)
Place the tortillas directly onto the grill in batches of up to 4 at a time, but no more, so you can control the browning without them burning.
Heat for about 30 seconds, or until the bottom is browned in spots, then use tongs to flip it over and grill the other side for about 30 seconds.
Remove the tortillas to a plate or a clean surface, and repeat with the rest of the tortillas. You can stack them as you remove them from the grill.
