2. Heat 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle one tablespoon olive oil at a time and dip the corn tortillas one at a time coating each corn tortilla with olive oil first on both sides.

When all the corn tortillas have a little olive oil on both sides, you can set them down in the skillet as pictured and set the heat to low. Rotate the corn tortillas until they are pliable and warmed.

Turn the heat off and continue to rotate so the bottom tortillas don’t get too hard. About 3 to 4 minutes.
