Yesterday I went to the market to eat some free molcajete deliciousness. While I was there, I decided to ask the people who make the tortillas what the secret is for reheating them. I’ve always had a problem reheating tortillas. They either dry out or get slimy. Jorge told me that he heard you put a damp paper towel in a bag with the tortillas for tortilla perfection. We failed with this method every time.

I walked over to the little window with fresh tortillas stacked on the window sill and asked “How do you reheat tortillas when they get cold?”
The man grinned. This was it. I knew I was in for the secret to having delicious tortillas whenever I needed one.
“Corn” he replied.
“Thank-you” I said as I smiled and walked away a little disappointed. The secret had slipped through my fingers yet again.
