Taco bar/Tortillas

[DTro]

If one was going to serve a taco bar for about 22 people, how does one heat the tortillas and keep them warm for service? I am thinking soft corn tortillas. Appreciate any input!

If everyone is going to be eating around the same time, I’ve kept soft flour tortillas warm in a crock pot.

Now the last two times I’ve done a taco bar, I’ve done walking tacos. I find it easier. Get some individual bags of Doritos, Fritos and tortilla chips and let everyone make their own taco in the bag.

I have a tortilla warmer. It's basically a round insulated pocket that keeps the tortillas warm. I found mine in the kitchen gadget aisle of my local supermarket.

Like painter, I use a tortilla warmer similar to THIS one. Works great! FWIW, you might want two or three so you always have at least one (or two) hot while you're warming the next batch.

MBMorgan- Thanks for the tip! I ordered a couple of these to try.

I need to give one of those pouch-style ones a try. I have the plastic one with the lid, but I just seem to always get condensation in there from the steam that negatively effects the tortillas.

Bread basket and a clean kitchen towel.

This seem to be the key....you need something relatively insulating, but not so sealed that it traps the steam in there.

Thanks SheilaAnn -This would be my go to, but I don't think everybody will be eating at the same time. Gonna try a couple tortilla warmers mentioned above for this one.
