Notes
*To heat tortillas, place a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add tortillas and heat 30-60 seconds, flip, then heat an addition 30-60 seconds or until tortilla puffs a bit and develops a bit of color and light char. Repeat with all tortillas and keep warm in a clean dish towel. Alternatively, you can carefully heat tortillas one at a time directly over a gas flame, flipping tortillas with tongs and keeping a very close watch so they don’t catch fire. Alternatively, heat for 30 seconds in the microwave.
**To make the pickled onion, combine 1 thinly sliced red onion with 1 cup seasoned rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium sized bowl. Toss well. Refrigerate until ready to serve, ideally overnight. These pickled onions will last for about a week in the fridge.
