There are few things worse than pulling some tortillas out of the refrigerator, peeling one off the top of the stack, and watching it split into pieces. A split tortilla is no good to anyone, so you try to surgically remove it one quarter inch at a time. Eventually you accept that the tortilla is ruined, and what was going to be a taco, burrito or fajita has transformed into a mess of meat, bread and sauce that you have to eat with a fork. Happily, there's a way to avoid this. All you have to do is warm up the tortillas first.
Step 1
Run a little it of water over a dish towel. Ensure that the whole towel has some water on it.

Step 2
Squeeze the towel so it's just a little damp.
Step 3
Wrap the tortilla stack in the towel.
Step 4
Put the wrapped tortilla stack in the microwave.
Step 5
Set the microwave for around two minutes.
Step 6
Check the tortillas regularly to make sure they are warm enough to stay in one piece.
Warning
Microwave time will vary depending on your microwave; there is little standardization between microwaves.
