Notes
Warm the tortillas: If you roll the tacos with tortillas right out of the package, they're more prone to cracking. Warm them in a dry nonstick pan for 30 seconds per side. Then pop them into a tortilla warmer or resealable bag. The tortillas will and make them easy to roll.
Seam side down: To ensure the rolled tacos stay rolled, place them with the seam side down on the baking sheet. Give them a press down so they lay flat.
