If you haven't tried flame-toasted wheat tortillas
you're in for a treat. Like toast they can be topped
in endless ways.
Place a tortilla directly over a medium high gas
flame, or place on a cookie rack set over an electric
burner. Toast until surface becomes lightly flecked
with char, about 10 to 20 seconds, and tortilla
begins to fill with steam. Turn over and toast the
other side. A perfect tortilla will fill with steam
and puff up if it has no tears or holes.
If desired, brush tortilla with oil or butter. Place
in a towel-lined basket while toasting the remaining
pieces. Serve piping hot.
