  If you haven't tried flame-toasted wheat tortillas 
  you're in for a treat. Like toast they can be topped 
  in endless ways. 
   
  Place a tortilla directly over a medium high gas 
  flame, or place on a cookie rack set over an electric 
  burner.  Toast until surface becomes lightly flecked 
  with char, about 10 to 20 seconds, and  tortilla 
  begins to fill with steam.  Turn over and toast the 
  other side.  A perfect tortilla will fill with steam 
  and puff up if it has no tears or holes. 
   
  If desired, brush tortilla with oil or butter.  Place 
  in a towel-lined basket while toasting the remaining 
  pieces.  Serve piping hot.
