If you skip this step, your Enchiladas will be absolutely horrible, microwave or not. To soft fry the tortillas, put 1/4 of an inch of corn oil into a frying pan. Then place it on a burner set on medium high. It will take a few minuets for it to heat up. Once it is heated up drop a tortilla in the oil for 5 seconds. Then flip it over, let the other side cook for 5 seconds, and then remove it from the frying pan. Now blot the grease off using a paper towel. You will need to soft fry around 20 of these. (If you have never fried any thing before there are some safety rules to hot oil. One: Never leave it unattended. If you do, it could start your house on fire. Two: If you have children make sure it is out of their reach and the handle of the skillet is not hanging off where they could reach it. Three: Use the proper utensils to fry, this never includes your hands. I know My hand is in the picture, but I can tell you from experience hot oil hurts!) I am not trying to scare you, just trying to make this an enjoyable experience.
