"If you want to heat multiple at once on the stove, though, you're going to want to swap your cast iron pan for one with enough surface area. This will allow you to heat up as many as possible at once in a fraction of the time. Made from carbon steel, a wok is just the pan you need to get the job done. They come in sizes that span in diameter from 12 inches to 16 inches."
"Every single tortilla - whether store-bought or homemade - will get an even amount of surface area and heat. Not only that, but they'll heat up a lot quicker than you're used to with your cast iron skillet, thanks to the carbon steel's speedy heat conduction and thinner construction. Allowing for quicker temperature changes, you're less likely to burn your tortillas."
"You should always heat up your tortillas - making them tastier and less prone to tearing. Interestingly, there are just as many ways to keep your tortillas warm, but the key is having the right tools. While you can always lean on the parchment paper trick for keeping tortillas warm at a party, it could be worth investing in a reusable tortilla warmer if you regularly have Taco Tuesdays."
There are many methods to heat tortillas, including foil in the oven, paper towels in the microwave, and open flame charring. A carbon steel wok offers a faster stovetop method because its larger surface area and thinner construction conduct heat quickly. Arrange one or two tortillas in the center and circle the rest up the sides so each receives even heat. Faster temperature changes reduce burning and allow easy adjustment for soft, warm tortillas with crisp edges. Keep tortillas warm using stacked parchment paper or invest in a reusable tortilla warmer, which typically costs about $12–$14.
