Soft corn tortillas
I was reading a newspaper article, and it mentioned "soft corn
tortillas." Do you just steam them or put them in the micro with a wet paper towel on top of them for 45 seconds. I have always fried corn tortillas in corn oil. Also it seems as if the corn variety only comes in the small size which does not lend itself to something like a wrap. Tom |

This is probably the healthiest way to make tacos as the corn tortillas usually have little or no fat, and fewer carbohydrates than flour tortillas. An alternative to frying them is to simply heat them in a dry skillet (or comal) until then soften. Stale tortillas don't fare well in this method, though. No, corn tortillas don't make good wraps.

I grew up eating corn tortillas that we'd heat right at the table on a dry electric (teflon) skillet. Everyone could do their own. We'd even butter them hot and roll up like little cigars and munch away on them. Delicious! |

I use a dry skillet, but I've seen people post here that they heat corn tortillas over the open flame of a gas burner. -- See return address to reply by email |

Yes, I am ashamed of myself. Greg Zywicki Did you get an Ice Cream Bar? I want an Ice Cream bar. |
