Notes
HOW TO HEAT FLOUR TORTILLAS:
Skillet – Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until warm and begin to char about 30 seconds on each side. Transfer to a plate, loosely cover with foil to keep warm. (This is my favorite way to heat them!)
Microwave – Place a damp paper towel between 5-6 tortillas and heat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. (This is the fastest way to heat a bunch of tortillas.)
Oven – Wrap a stack of 5-6 tortillas in aluminum foil and warm them in a 350-degree oven for 10-15 minutes or so. (This way takes longer but is a great way to heat a lot of tortillas for a crowd.)
