Reheating Tortillas

Pan, Skillet or BBQ hot plate (Comal)

  1. Heat dry (no oil) over high-ish heat.
  2. Warm each tortilla for about 10-15 seconds per side until soft and floppy, or for longer if you prefer them toasted and crispy.

----------------------------------------

Microwave for 30–60 seconds depending on quantity and the power of your microwave.

  1. Best for speed, but try not to over heat them for a soft tortilla.



Pro Tips
• If not serving immediately wrap heated tortillas in a clean slightly damp tea towel or in a tortilla cozy to retain heat and moisture.
• If tortillas are dry or cracking, wet them under the tap before reheating.
• For a different flavour, brush lightly with oil before heating them up in the skillet (no need to wet them beforehand).

Other ways to get'em warm

  • Open Flame in Gas Stove, BBQ or Outdoor Fire (A little bit smoky)

    1. Use tongs to place a tortilla directly over flame.

    2. Flip quickly as it puffs (sometimes more than others) and chars lightly 3-5 seconds.

    3. Adds a smoky flavour—great for tacos with a taste the country side!

  • Oven

    Conventional Oven

    1. Wrap stack of tortillas (12-15 max.) in foil.

    2. Slightly wet tortillas under tap, then bake at 200°C for 10-15 minutes check and heat longer if needed.

  • Steam

    Place a single layer of tortillas over the meal you are preparing and let the steam heat up your tortillas, this works well for a small number of guests as the space is limited over what you are heating up/cooking but it is a good way to restore moisture into the cold tortilla while heating it up. Flip as required.
