Warm Up Tortillas For Beef Tacos
Warm tortillas are pliable and hold more fillings.
Heat up the tortillas in a dry pan on the stovetop over medium high heat until soft and pliable or place in microwave on a lower setting for 15-20 seconds until warm.
Things In My Kitchen:
- 12″ Nonstick Pan – Nonstick’s and easier pan to warm up cooked noodles. This one is PFOA free and has a lid.
- Slotted spoon - I don't mind a little grease in my ground beef tacos but I don't want my tortilla drippin' with it either. This is a good price for a 5 piece set.
- Benriner Mandolin - I like the wide, but own the regular size. Hands down, my fav mandolin for slicin' thin.
