Variations

  • Spicy – add chili pepper flakes or chili powder for a wow effect. That is why I use a bit of oil on the tortillas to allow seasonings to adhere.
  • Natural – don’t want to add oil, no problem. The trick here is to lightly oil the griddle like you would for any grilling. Then just put the tortilla down and let it warm up, about 1 minute or less. Now just flip it onto the other side and grill them to your liking.
  • Kid-friendly – This is a great simple recipe for them to help with, like brushing the oil on the tortillas before you take them out to the griddle.
  • Dessert – Maybe I should call this one kid-friendly. Add a thin layer of butter then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.

In my opinion, yes. We have used the cooling rack method before and it is a convenient solution. The taco rack does make shaping the tacos much easier.

Can you just warm the tortillas up for fajitas?

Oh yes! It is even easier. Just warm up the griddle then turn it off. If you just cooked up your sides and meat, turn it off and let the temperature come down to below 300 degrees F. Oil the grill and put them on for about 1 minute then flip them. Wait until they are where you want them for about another minute or two.
