    I usually buy store corn tortillas, but they are useless out of the package. What i do is put a few drops of oil in a non stick pan, get it nice and hot, and then plop the tortillas in one at a time and move them around. Basically a very low oil fry. Flip em when they start to bubble, and do the same amount of time on the other side. Remove when done, add a little more oil (just a few drops) and drop the next tortilla in.

    Makes the corn tortillas much more durable. I can actually roll a decent burrito in a store bought corn tortilla with this method. If you try this right out of the package, it will crack and crumble.

    I should make my own corn tortillas, but i just don't have that kind of time, usually.

    Corn tortillas are so much more flavorful that flour tortillas. And much more traditional. I love corn tortillas, and i always order them when i eat mexican or texmex.

    In Mexico, you will never encounter a decent tortilla that is made on an oily surface. That will create a crust that is undesirable since your tortilla will crack once you fold it for a taco or something else instead of a typical nice soft and gently touch. Now, if you're doing sopes or quesadillas, then the oil is desirable.

    Tortillas are not meant to be flipped over and over again and you can flip them by hand if you leave them the proper amount of time you don't need a spatula this person obviously has no idea what the hell they're doing
