Warm tortilla’s provide a supple base with which to wrap your fixins. But be warned, if warmed too much they may scald your hands.

A cooled tortilla is best for a burrito filled with lettuce and other fresh vegetables, as it provides a delightful crunch at first bite. But be warned — a cool tortilla also means more tears and tears (that’s right, BOTH pronunciations apply!),  and you may risk escapee sour cream.

Burrito Queen recommends balance — if you want the bite of the cool tortilla, wrap it warm and let it cool.
