Instructions
How to Warm Tortillas in the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. While it's warming, wrap a stack of tortillas in aluminum foil.
- Place the foil-wrapped tortillas in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
- Keep wrapped in foil until ready to serve!
How to Warm Tortillas in the Microwave
- Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, with a damp paper towel layered between each tortilla.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds to a minute, until heated through.
- Remove, and serve immediately!
How to Warm Tortillas on a Skillet or Griddle
- Heat a dry cast iron skillet, nonstick pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one tortilla at a time directly on the hot pan, and cook for 15-20 seconds.
- Flip with tongs, and cook another 15-20 seconds.
- Remove once the tortilla is hot and starts developing char marks, then place on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve!

Notes
- Make sure to cover the tortillas after they're heated! Foil or a kitchen towel work well for sealing in moisture so the tortillas don't get dry.
- Make sure to place damp paper towel between each layer when microwaving tortillas. This will ensure they don't stick together and tear!
- These methods work for both corn and flour tortillas, as well as gluten-free tortillas!
- For a real treat, heat tortillas in foil on the grill while you're cooking meat or veggies. The steam from the meat will flavor the tortillas deliciously.
