Does anyone know any tried and true methods for steaming tortillas, both corn and flour? I have tried steaming tortillas in a double boiler on top of the stove as well as microwaving tortillas but I am unable to achieve consistent results. Any tips? Thanks.

wombat food I have always steamed tortilla using a pan of boiling water (just a few mm of water in a saucepan) with one of those wire-screen spatter stoppers over the top of the pan. I just lay one tortilla at a time on it, wait a few seconds, turn it over, spread some butter on it (the steam will melt the butter nicely), and then heap the ingredients on it while its still on the screen. The tortilla doesn't stick to the wire screen much, and the steam even cleans the accumulated grease out of the wire screen that got put there when I cooked the filling.

I have found steaming tortillas in a rice cooker to be easy and consistent. (Makes for cheap pancakes for moo shi X!)
