Heating Corn Tortillas in Ovenの全貌を分かりやすくまとめてご紹介します。

First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Yes, that’s the magic number. Not 500°F (you’re not baking a pizza, you maniac), and not 200°F (that’s just a warm hug that goes nowhere). Get it hot.

Now, here’s the life-changing move: wrap your stack of tortillas in a damp paper towel. Then, wrap that entire bundle—paper towel and all—in aluminum foil. It looks like a sad, silver burrito. That’s your ticket to glory.

Why the damp towel? Because steam is the secret sauce. Without it, your tortillas will dry out and shatter like a broken dream. With it, they become so bendy you could fold them into origami cranes (please don’t, eat them instead).

The Timeline: From Sad to Spectacular

Pop that foil packet into the oven for exactly 10 to 12 minutes. Not 8, not 15. You’re not trying to reanimate a dinosaur here. When you hear a faint whisper of steam hissing from the packet, you’re close.

After the timer dings, carefully open the foil (steam burns hurt, you brave idiot). You’ll see tortillas that are soft, warm, and slightly translucent at the edges. They’ll smell like a cornfield after a summer rain. It’s a religious experience.

Pro tip: if you want a little char, unwrap them and lay them directly on the oven rack for another 60 seconds. They’ll get those sexy black spots that make you look like a professional chef. You’re welcome.
