As every brushstroke plays a role in a painting, so does every ingredient in a taco. These tips target a variety of elements, all tailored to help you make yours terrific. RELATED: 11 Quick and Easy Tortilla Recipes The best way to heat tortillas is on a comal (a Mexican griddle), but a regular griddle or pan will do. Set the stove to medium-high. Once the griddle gets hot, toast each tortilla for about a minute on each side. If the tortilla is fresh, it might briefly inflate, like a balloon. You can also give tortillas a quick warming in the toaster oven. If all else fails, there’s always the microwave, though it’ll soften tortillas. Before you toast tortillas, sprinkle them with a few drops of water.
