Warm the tortillas after the filling and toppings are organized. This sequence makes it easier to assemble a small batch without leaving the base waiting while you finish the rest of the meal.
Follow the product’s method
Read the instructions on the tortillas you bought. A package may specify a particular appliance or preparation. Choose equipment that fits those instructions and the tortilla size. Do not treat advice for reheating finished tortillas as a method for cooking raw dough.
Keep the working surface clear and handle hot equipment carefully. If using a skillet, stay nearby and observe the tortilla rather than relying on a universal number of seconds. Products, pans and heat settings differ.
Work in manageable batches
Prepare the main filling for service first. Warm a small number of tortillas, fill them moderately and serve. Continue with another batch as needed instead of heating a large pile before anyone is ready.
Check the whole taco
If the base tears, look at the amount and moisture of the filling as well as the warming method. A tortilla can become difficult to handle because it is overloaded. Record the product and approach that worked for you, using the package as the starting reference next time.
