Also, you can reheat cooled tortillas in microwave to regain the flexibility if it becomes stiff. | 9. Tip 2: If using a large skillet on a range top stove, use Med to Med-High heat depending on range top, 1-2 min on each side until tortilla is soft, flexible, and a pale yellow color. | 10. a. Color approximate based on personal preference. | 11. Tip 3. Use a non-stick spatula or a large plastic slotted spatula to lift the rolled tortilla off the floured surface when transferring it to the griddle or skillet for cooking so that you don’t accidently break the uncooked tortilla. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
