>flour tortillas..
Switch to corn, thank me later.

>>20377387
If your making a burrito steam them. Just some water in a sauce pan will do. They get stretchy

>>20377514
Nah, they fall apart too easily. Need them gluten proteins.

I stumbled upon that subreddit yesterday

>>20377387
I learned this trick from working with Mexicans in construction. They always have a little propane burner for their tortillas. I usually heat them on my cast iron pan, but if you have a gas stove, doing it directly on the burner is best.

Are gringos really eating cold tortillas?

>>20377387
>Now my girlfriend can't get enough of anything using them
This is only a good thing, if your goal is to make her fat.

>>20377546
>They always have a little propane burner for their tortillas
I just threw up in my mouth.

>>20377570
t. only eats what mommy cooks for him

>>20377570
I'm having trouble connecting anything that would be vomit-inducing to a normal person. What's your damage?

>>20377524
>they fall apart too easily
... are you heating them up? Corn tortillas taste like shit and fall apart when you don't heat them up.

>>20377387
Pan fried burritos are the best

>>20377387
What about corn tortillas? Should I heat those too?

>>20377658
It is crucial that you heat corn tortillas on a skillet or something. They take on a completely different (better) taste and texture.

>>20377662
you should also heat tortilla chips in a toaster oven or air fryer right before eating.

>>20377651
how the hell would heat make the corn meal more structurally sound? what are you, frying them?

>>20377672
they are supposed to be fried on a skillet until slightly charred. they are essentially an uncooked food item straight out of the bag.

>>20377570
The fuck else are you going to throw up, out of your ear?

>>20377677
not everything is a hard taco, you Texmexer. you don't fry a fajita

>>20377677
I actually like them uncooked out of the bag, they're like wet dog treats. I've liked dog treats since I was a kid.

>>20377687
jesus christ I didn't say deep fry it. just look it up on youtube or something. you are retarded.

>>20377672
you need to fry them without oil, they don't come cooked fully

>>20377561
crazy to think that they probably eat corn tortillas cold too

>>20377685
You can throw up out of your mouth or in your mouth. As an added bonus, if you try your hardest to only throw up in your mouth but the volume is simply too large for your mouth, you could throw up out of your nose. Finally, if you're throwing up out of your nose and you insist on keeping your mouth clamped but your nostrils aren't large enough to accommodate the surge rate of throw up, it is possible to throw up out of your eyes.

>>20377387
Now do yourself a big favor and learn how to make home made flour tortillas. They're amazing for breakfast.

>>20377387
>blasting your food with petroleum gas product

hmmmmmm very yummy THANKS OP

>>20377998
Wait until you find out how most food is cooked

>>20377653
I use a panini press for mine.

>>20378023

>>20378003
>he thinks placing food on a thermally conductive surface is the same as directly applying heat

>>20378023
Doesn't get as crispy though, and cleaning a pan is easier than cleaning a panini press.

>>20378003
yeah and its not the same as directly touching the food to a petroleum flame

charcoal and fire is natural, butane is like chemical processed poison gas

>>20377872
The fuck other kind of bonus is there? A subtracted bonus?

>>20377387
if you burn flour tortillas you can make a sort of coffee with them

If you want stuff cooked in open flame dont use a gas stove, shit tastes like gas, youd have to be a subhuman to not taste it.
Only acceptable thing to burn directly on gas is peppers because you take the skins off anyway

>>20377670
I like to do this, I also put on my own cumin and smoked paprika salt n pepper dusting.

Really elevates them

>>20377998
Nooo don't touch my food with heckin flamerinos!!!! Microwave or airfryer only!!!

>>20377387
This nigga just discovered cooking

>>20377526
no wonder /ck/ so fucking bad.

>>20377387
What the fuck, is this not common knowledge? Pretty sure tortilla packets here tell you to heat them up.
Let me try to blow your mind again, you know how stale pizza is borderline inedible? Put it in a pan and heat it. Flip it over too, so the cheese melts a bit. Boom your pizza is great again.

>>20377521
microwaving them 30 sec works better

>>20377387
Now you need to get a tortilla warmer.

>>20377387
are you pan-frying them in butter or lard when you eat them up? You can also butter and stack them and roll them into a log in foil and throw them in the oven for a soft not crunchy texture. personally I like them crunchy but when I’m doing a big stack for soft taco night the oven is easier. also gotta pan-fry your burritos. is pan-fry the right term? not like the pan-fry you do to a schnitzel.

>>20377672
When you heat them up the starch gelatinizes and the tortilla becomes flexible

>>20377387
>but never once had thought to heat a flour tortilla up.
Do white people really?

>>20377526
Jesus Christ. Do they not know you can't get upvotes here?

>>20377685
>>20378121
Based.

>>20380261
I've never had Mexican food...
How would I know to heat it up first?
It doesn't seem like an obvious thing to do

>>20381259
what kind of bread isnt better heated up?

>>20381262
Holy shid

>>20377387
Wait til you learn how to make naan bread at home.

Another game changer I recently learned, you can add salt and fat to food and it tastes even better.

>>20377524
>Nah, they fall apart too easily
true but only if you by the shitty pre cooked ones which are stale, picrel can be found in the coolers by the mexican cheese
Or you could just make them fresh, its really easy and if you have help in the kitchen its no work at all.

>>20377563
a warm tortilla embiggens the smallest gf

>>20381046
(you)s are a direct analog for upboats and just like uptoats they hold no bearing on the quality of the post

>>20377387
I prefer them cold most of the time

This may be a more simplistic take but if you have one just toss them in a toaster oven 15ish mins before you eat

>>20381521
Lol what a retart he was off by 6 days

Store bought tortillas are fucking garbage. Learn how to make your own.

>>20377387
Once whatever you are putting in them is done cooking, toss a tortilla on top to warm up.

>>20380211
+1

>>20377387
I wrap them in foil and toss them in the oven on low heat.

lmao dis hombre been eatin raw tortillas

>>20377387
DO YT PIPO REALLY? TRVLY??

>>20381285
Low IQ moment. Anon can't generalize from knowing what toast is, RIP

>>20377387
Mix flour salt and water so it's runny; pour a circle into a pan shape it with spoon when the sides curl then flip it(or just best guestimate on that).
Use like 375 heat or so don't need oil in nonstick adding oil makes it fall apart

It is superior

>>20377387
I was surprised to find that so many people were unaware of this. The gf thought I was crazy the first time I did it at her place one evening. I had always assumed this was a common knowledge sort of thing.
Really goes to show to not make the assumption and to share these sort of helpful tips just as you've done here, OP. Good on you for spreading the good word, you never know who else might learn.

>>20377514
fpbp

>>20377387
Cook your quesadillas in butter in a pan, they'll get nice and flaky. Or you can use olive oil and it'll get crisp but not quite flaky.

Also, use a single tortilla and fold it over, and just make two of these instead of laying them flat. It's much easier to flip, especially if you do something like heat up some cooked chicken in salsa and add that to the middle between the cheese (cook off enough liquid from the salsa that it won't make a mess).

>>20377387
how about you make them yourself retard its so easy

>>20382514
Why do you have to be so hurtful about it

>>20377387
I bet it's actually carcinogenic

>>20377387
You can also buy them raw, they cook in a few seconds. You’ll never go back I promise

>>20377387
They are awesome heated on the burner, flip a few times, take off, put on a plate, then add butter or if you eat margarine, roll, and eat.

Been eating them like this for decades

>>20384509
this
look for them in the fridge at the bodega, they come in stacks

>>20377387
i bought an apt with a gas stove
i didn't know you could heat food with no pan like that

>>20378104
Who the fuck cooks with butane?

>>20385530
You mean you don't?

>>20386757
Why do that when I got coal by the ton?

>>20377872
Every time I throw up, it comes out of my nose and I want to murder someone because it feels like I've had nitric acid poured into my sinus cavity.

>>20377387
Just wait until you figure out you can make your own tortillas hat are hot and fresh off the griddle.

>>20377387
ur welcum

>>20389797
chequeteta

>>20377524
mulitas absolutely destroy quesadillas and you're missing out because you don't know how to make them. they are super fucking easy and upgrade all over the place.

>>20377387
>blasting gas residue directly on your food

>>20377387
You didn't at least microwave them before? What were you (not) thinking?

>>20377387
they also taste good when you burn them and there's little black spots on the tortilla.

well, maybe not everyone likes it but I know a lot of people that do like it burnt.

>>20377387
>I've been cooking for lots of years but never once had thought to heat a flour tortilla up

heat up a little bit of oil and fry them for like 10 seconds and they'll be strong as shit
