How to Heat Corn Tortillas Like a Pro, and Keep Them Warm

corn masa

🥗Healthier: whole grain masa

💰Cheaper: corn flour

Whole grain masa offers more fiber, while corn flour can be more affordable.

Heat a griddle over high heat for around 40 seconds.

Place the tortilla on the griddle without any oil.

Cook the first side for about 40 seconds, then flip it over and cook for an additional 15 seconds, depending on the heat of your griddle.

For a quick method, use a microwave: take a wet kitchen towel, wrap the tortillas in it, place them in a microwave-safe plastic bag, and heat for around 40 seconds.

For the best flavor, use an open flame: place the tortilla directly over high medium heat for about 8 seconds on one side and 5 seconds on the other side.

To keep tortillas warm, use a tortillero with a tablecloth inside to retain heat.

Alternatively, use a pot with water and a steamer: once the water is boiling, place the tortilla packages in the steamer, cover, and keep on low heat.
