- ✓Heat your pan to 375-400°F before adding oil so the tortilla sears immediately, creating steam that puffs the wrap and prevents oil absorption.technique375-400°F
- ✓Roll wraps with 2-3 pounds of pressure and let them rest seam-side down for 2-3 minutes before cooking so the tortilla's moisture creates a natural seal.timing2-3 minutes
- ✓Use a cast iron or carbon steel pan for even heat distribution at 400°F+ to achieve golden Maillard browning without burning the tortilla.equipment400°F+
