Tortillas
When I buy corn tortillas, after a few days they crumble (makes no diff if
I keep them in the cupboard or refrig). I try warming them in the microwave using a tortilla warmer but still the same result. I was thinking of adding a sprinkle of water, will that work? Or is there some other method I can use to stop them from falling apart when I fold them. I do not want to fry them. Suggestions?? Thanks! |

Splash some water on them and heat them on a griddle or over the flame of the gas stove burner. Ido the latter. -sw |

Inside the 'fridge is just as drying as a cupboard. I wet one hand and brush both sides of a tortilla, then m'wave for just a few seconds to heat/soften. |

Grandma Gurrerro put fresh orange peels in the bag and stored them in the produce drawer of the fridge. She put a little oil on a griddle and toasted them before serving. They were always easy to fold. |

It's a flat bread made with either wheat or corn flour (that's corn flour,
called masa harina in spanish, NOT corn meal). Basicaly a dough that is pressed into a flat disk about 1/16th inch thick and quckly blistered on a hot greased griddle.
