Before assembling a wrap, how long is a tortilla heated in the microwave?

Heating a tortilla before assembling a wrap is an important step that enhances the wrap's texture and makes it easier to fold. The correct duration for heating a tortilla in the microwave is 20 seconds. This time ensures that the tortilla becomes warm enough to be pliable without drying out or becoming too hot to handle, which is essential for maintaining the quality of the wrap.

Heating it for too long can make the tortilla overly soft or lead to moisture loss, resulting in an undesired texture. Therefore, the recommendation of 20 seconds strikes the right balance for optimal wrapping and overall customer satisfaction.
