Tips
- To soften butter quickly, heat water in a cup in the microwave, dump it out, and then place the hot cup over the butter for a few minutes.
- Press lightly with a towel while cooking the tortillas to help them puff up and cook evenly.
- Store the tortillas in a Ziploc bag to keep them soft for days, but they are best fresh off the griddle.
