Ok... anyone got a non microwave answer??? Mine uhm..... blew up. LOL No seriously... it like caught fire and I pitched it.

I haven't tried this - so I don't know - but a friend does this - preheat oven to 200*. Place a pan of boiling water on the bottom rack. Make sure the oven is at 200* and not colder.

Use a skillet to heat your flour tortillas; fill and roll. Place on rack in oven until done making them.

She claims that they stay soft.

I was having the same problem before my husband went on the South Beach Diet and couldn't eat bread for 2 weeks. Now we only occasionally have flour tortillas, like once a month. He likes corn tortillas though, and those never work right for me. They seem more brittle and break easier than the flour tortillas, plus me and our 10 yr old think they taste funny. I know it's cuz we're used to the flour tortillas though.

I bet you could do the same thing with an oven. Wrap them in damp paper towels then in tin foil put them in the oven while you make the filling

The oven, while slower than a microwave, I think makes food taste better. Maybe it's just me.
