This is fine but dry roast or fry your tortillas on a high heat otherwise your appetizers will have a raw flour flavor which is awful. They may look cooked from the package but they are still very raw. It only takes 2 minutes per tortilla or pita bread but they will taste and look much better and still be pliable. All tortillas or raw flat breads need to be cooked or heated before consuming to get rid of this raw flavor. Corn tortillas need to be fried in oil or margarine or steamed for use in enchiladas. Steam corn tortillas 10 seconds each so if you have 6 tortillas steam them in the microwave covered for one minute. Just put them on a microwavable plate or tortilla warmer cover with a paper towel or clean flour sack dish towel and microwave them. They provide their own moisture for steam.
