Or steam them in a steamer, like you might for Chinese pancakes use to
make Chinese mu shi chicken/shrimp/beef/whatever.  You can use a covered 
frying pan, and some crinkled aluminum foil to elevate the tortillas from
the liquid if you don't have a steamer.  You don't want the tortillas to 
soak in the water/broth or they will get soggy.  Sprinkling them lightly 
with water before microwaving is also helpful.  You could also sprinkle 
them with a little water, wrap them in foil, and heat in a regular oven,
toaster oven, or frying pan.

As for horseradish, I've heard that a little sugar tends to pep it up.

For some good horseradish recipes, check out horseradish in the 
epicurious dictionary.  You'll find a link to recipes with horseradish
recipes under its definition.

Here's the URL for the EPICURIOUS DICTIONARY.  Bookmark it, it's great!

Here's the URL that went to the horseradish recipe page (yeah, it's long):
