why does everyone always toast there tortillas in buckets of oil? it gets all wet and soggy and it overpowers the flavor of the tortilla not to mention adding lots of unneeded calories.

the correct what to toast a tortilla is over medium low with a dry pan. toast for at least a minute to golden brown or your heat is to high. if its not to hot it will not stick.

if the oil is hot enough it doesn't get absorbed too much, i thought this was common oil knowledge

also when you take it out, put it in a plate with some cooking paper to absorb the extra-oil

no idea about tortillas though, but this is oil general stuff

Into a hot oven, straight on the wire rack inside. Out and onto a plate covered with a towel to steam.

I remember when I first starting coming to 4chan and thinking people were so smart and I laughed at all of the people pretending to be retarded. Then I realized that they weren't pretending.

Using oil to fry tortillas only adds around 2-3g of fats to the tortilla, which equates to 18-25 calories per tortilla when fried on both sides. The hot oil does not enter or penetrate the food itself. It only creates shell or barrier on the surface of the food and continues to heat the food through the newly created crispy surface.
