Tortilla Puff Tip 1: Moisture
Ah, the mythical puff. The pancita. The soufflé. A puff occurs during the cooking process of a tortilla when the moisture trapped inside the tortilla gets hot and expands outward in the form of steam.

It’s the hallmark of a well-made tortilla. A puffless tortilla is still delicious, but we wanted to share our best tips for achieving inflation, starting with perhaps the most crucial element: moisture.
