Ingredients

6 corn tortillas store-bought

Instructions

Turn on your gas burner to medium low or low heat. Warm one corn tortilla at a time for 20 seconds on each side. Use tongs to flip the tortilla. Do not leave the stove while you're doing this. If you leave them over the fire too long, they will catch on fire.
They should only brown/char a little bit. If you leave them over the fire too long, they will taste burnt and become tough and hard. So, keep a close eye on them!
Keep the tortillas warm and soft by stacking them inside a clean dish towel or cloth napkin while you warm the rest of the tortillas. The cloth also prevents the bottom tortilla from getting soggy from condensation by touching the plate it's resting on.
