Tips

  • Store frozen and reheat in 3-4 minutes in the microwave.
  • For extra browning, switch the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Wrap in foil or parchment and freeze for later. To reheat, wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 3-4 minutes, air fry or pan fry after if you want a crispy tortilla.
