I hadn't thought of using my cast iron frying pan. Good idea. I bought more tortillas yesterday, now I have to decide which method to use first!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433459858260551520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-66099803895219116872009-03-26T12:42:00.000-07:002009-03-26T12:42:00.000-07:00Another option (which works well for enchilada-mak...Another option (which works well for enchilada-making) is to heat up tortillas inside a large pan set over medium or medium-low heat. A cast-iron skillet is a good choice, since it can be heated without anything in it, and you don't have to worry you'll damage its surface. Cast-iron also retains heat, so once you've got the skillet at a temperature you like, it doesn't take much heat to keep it warm until you're done with your tortilla prep.<BR/><BR/>But you did a nice job improvising in the kitchen!

My method left bits of tortilla stuck to the foil, so it went right into the bin.<BR/><BR/>I had read about the open-flame method, but, alas we live in the land of the electric stove. It's something I try not to think about too much. I can't imagine that this method would work with an electric burner, and I'm certain it wouldn't be as much fun.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433459858260551520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-17272738037329933102009-03-24T08:08:00.000-07:002009-03-24T08:08:00.000-07:00You can heat them in the oven, too.

Sprinkle a few drops of water on each tortilla as you stack them up; wrap them in foil and heat at 250-300 degrees for about 15 minutes (maybe longer if you have a big stack). The same piece of foil can be re-used several times before you recycle it. If you don't want to fire up your oven, you can use a toaster oven, if you have one.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I use the open-flame method to warm tortillas - I turn the gas stove on low and flip the tortilla back and forth over the bare burner, using long tongs - but that may not work as well with this specific type of tortilla. Also, it's a little bit dangerous, but it's really fun to do :-)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280288778530721329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-83805846043383117012009-03-22T10:07:00.000-07:002009-03-22T10:07:00.000-07:00Thanks Meghan, I'll try that next time.Thanks Meghan, I'll try that next time.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433459858260551520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-70098757620758450442009-03-21T20:51:00.000-07:002009-03-21T20:51:00.000-07:00I throw my tortillas right in the steamer without ...I throw my tortillas right in the steamer without the foil and they steam up perfect!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
