To soften tortillas and make them easier to roll, place them first between 2 sheets of dampened paper towels and then in a plastic bag. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. Roll the tortillas 1 at a time, keeping the others covered until ready to use.

The olive oil called for in this recipe makes a significant taste contribution. If you do not use olive oil often, seek out the smallest bottle you can find and get the most flavor for the least money.
