The Maya and Aztecs harvested corn as early as 3000 BC. When the Spanish conquistadors landed in South America, the Aztecs were already making cornmeal and pressing cornbread and tortillas. Today, tortillas are still an important part of Mexican recipes and are made from wheat or corn flour. When making tortillas, you may need to heat them up. You can do this in a microwave, oven, or electric stove.

Steps

1. 1 Decide what kind of tortilla you want to reheat. When making tortillas, you need to choose the right kind for your recipe.
   • Tortillas come in a variety of sizes, such as burritos, fajita and tacos.
   • Tortillas can be made from wheat flour or yellow or white corn.
2. 2 Buy tortillas at the grocery store or local tortilla vendor. When you cook using tortillas, you can buy a lot of them and freeze them for later use.
3. 3 Preheat the tortillas in the oven.
   • Preheat oven to 176.67 ° C.
   • Stack 1-5 tortillas in a stack and wrap with aluminum foil. When reheating tortillas, do not stack more than 5 tortillas together at a time. If you need to cook more than 5 tortillas, use multiple packs of 5 tortillas and cook them together in the oven.
   • Place the tortillas in the oven and reheat for 15-20 minutes. Use an oven mitt to take out the tortillas.
4. 4 Preheat tortillas in the microwave.
   • Place 1-5 tortillas in a microwave-safe dish.
   • Cover the scones with a wet paper towel. When you cook with tortillas, you don't want them to get too dry. The water will help keep the tortillas moist.
   • Preheat the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds and check to see if they are warm. When you reheat tortillas in the microwave, do not overheat them. Heat them for an additional 30 seconds until they are warm.
5. 5 Heat the cakes on the electric stove.
   • Turn on the stove burner to medium temperature.
   • Place the skillet on the burner.
   • Place 1 tortilla in the skillet at a time. Turn the tortilla over with a spatula, cooking on each side for 30 seconds.
6. 6 Heat tortillas on the gas stove. This method works best if you only have 1 or 2 lozenges to heat up.
   • Turn the burner on over medium heat.
   • Hold 1 flatbread over the flame with tongs, turning it over a couple of times while heating both sides.
7. 7 Cover the heated tortillas with a damp, clean towel to keep them warm.

Tips

• Serve plain tortillas with butter, salt, or salsa.
• If you don't have fresh tortillas, brush the tortillas with water before reheating them.
• If you want crunchy tortillas, heat the tortillas on the stove and add the butter to the skillet.
• Add a couple of slices of cheese as you reheat the tortillas for a quick snack.
