A tortilla left on the table for a while goes dry and stiff in no time, and then it cracks when you try to roll a taco or a burrito. This tortilla warmer keeps them soft and warm from the pan (or microwave) to the plate. If you make your own, just stack your tortillas in the warmer and keep it closed. If you use shop-bought ones, put your tortillas inside, put the lid on and warm them in the microwave for half a minute. The lid traps both heat and moisture, and the tortillas turn soft and pliable.
Then put the warmer straight on the table, where it keeps the tortillas warm while everyone builds their tacos. It works just as well for pitta bread, flatbread, small pancakes, pancakes and crêpes, and it's an easy way to avoid standing there warming bread in batches while the food goes cold. Taco night has never been more civilised.
The warmer is made of heat-resistant plastic and holds a good stack of tortillas. Wash by hand or on the top rack of the dishwasher.
