This is an awesome method to soften corn tortillas! I have been frying them for YEARS and it is such a pain in the rear. I put 12 of them on a large cookie sheet, oiled both sides with extra light olive oil using a silicone basting brush, they did overlap a little, in a 325 degree oven for exactly 3 minutes like you instructed and BOOM! Soft! I placed them in a tortilla warmer so they will stay soft until ready to roll. THANK YOU!!
Omg! I just finished softening mine the oil fry method, all the while thinking “there’s gotta be an easier way” and viola!! Here it is!! Thank you!! I’ll be making enchiladas more often now!! 😊
Sure they can be, and that's how my husband's family did it for years. But while that softens it the sauce also penetrates it making it fall apart quicker in the finished dish. The thin layer of oil protects the tortilla so this is my preferred method. Cheers ~Lindy
Many cooking sprays now do NOT use poison. But natural accelerants. Also, you may note, I give the alternative of brushing them with cooking oil, no spray needed. Cheers ~ Lindy
Why infuse aerosol into your food when you can steam water into it? Also, you don’t need to waste a piece of aluminum foil which will be tossed into our landfill?
The idea behind the oil is to soften it as well as coat it so it doesn't fall apart in the sauce. Steam will soften but will not protect. Steam if you want.. And if you prefer, use a pan that you can wash and brush oil on as opposed to spraying it.
I usually fry the tortillas very briefly in a shallow pan half filled with vegetable oil, then dip it in the enchilada sauce while it's still hot. What is different about the way the tortillas come out using the oven instead of a skillet with oil?
Hi, I think this just uses less oil. The way you do it will work, but you most likely have extra oil to do something with. This method eliminates that and the tortillas are less oily. Cheers ~ Lindy
@@ispankchris I( don't think it's ridiculous, you don't use as much oil, you get them all done at one time, and you don't have to take care of disposing of excess oil. But feel free to do it your own way. Cheers and good cooking ~ Lindy
I’m only concerned with using and ingesting more seed oils (really bad for us) but like this idea while warming and rubbing coconut oil on them instead? I used to also fry in oil until I found out about the seed oil issues. Great idea here and I’ll just modify a little.

I like this better than dipping them in hot cooking oil…thank you ❤

Yassss!!!! Thank you! This is so much easier than the way my ex mother in law showed me 😁
Yeah! I'm glad you tried it. Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. Cheers ~ Lindy
Thanks, I can't believe how many videos only show the rolling but not this step!
You are more than welcome...Cheers ~ Lindy
Thank you for sharing...Will have to try it this way because other ways I have tried the fall apart on me...
You are welcome, you still can't leave them in the sauce for hours, but it always works for me.
Thank you so much for this, it helped me so much and was so easy!! Hope to see more videos from you!
Thank you, glad to help. Cheers Lindy
Same here. Thank you.!!
Can corn tortillas be dipped in enchilada sauce instead of oil for preparing enchiladas?
Sure they can be, and that's how my husband's family did it for years. But while that softens it the sauce also penetrates it making it fall apart quicker in the finished dish. The thin layer of oil protects the tortilla so this is my preferred method. Cheers ~Lindy
Just to add onto that. You should do both. You gotta get some of the moisture out first then dip fill and roll.
Yay thank you!
Thank you so much, it worked perfect!!
You lost me when you said spray them with poison
Many cooking sprays now do NOT use poison. But natural accelerants. Also, you may note, I give the alternative of brushing them with cooking oil, no spray needed. Cheers ~ Lindy
Thank you so much for your time.
Thank yOU bout to try this out
At what temp in the oven?
I do believe I say 325ºF (that's about 176ºC)
325F

Sheesh, sounds like you take alot of extra steps to make your life difficult. Just saying.
@Lindysez123 thank you so much! This worked fantasticly. ❤

The only way to make them .. yes.. this video is ridiculous
