   Warm the tortillas just enough so you can fold them without them ripping. Don't overburn or toast them, just warm them up.

   Hinweis

   You can also microwave the tortillas with a wet paper towel for a few seconds at a time.

   Dip the fried tortilla in the sauce, then fry it again in the hot oil. Be careful, as the oil and sauce will splatter. The sauce gets a delicious burnt flavor from this step.
