>To soften tortilla, all you really need to do is heat 'em up. A few
seconds in the microwave will do it, or if you have a gas stove, a quick
rotation by hand over a hot flame. Also, one can purchase a sort of
grill thing (our is called El Asador {Impressive no?} which we bought out
of the Sur La Table catalogue (#11948 $17.95 plus S & H 800-
243-0852)).
>This fits over your stove top burner(gas or electric) and let you warm
tortillas, grill veggies (especially peppers), etc. Its a very sturdy
and handsome thing make of black metal with wood handles.
Wow!! I have one of those that I use for skinning poblanos. I never
thought to use it on tortillas. Several have suggested
to use the microwave, but I've found that they become hard when they cool
down when done that way. I think someone a
year or so ago gave an explaination of why things dry out in the microwave,
so I don't use it anymore for any bread products.
Thanks Lorraine, I give it a try.
