Should you microwave tortillas in plastic wrap?

That's the advice I was given by a native. Is it healthy and safe?

    Not sure,  I'd put some kitchen towel around them when warming in the microwave.

    I try not to heat anything in plastic (or at least overheat) in the microwave. A damp paper towel under and over a small stack works best.

    I do not know if microwaving food in plastic is healthy or not.

    But having taken organic chemistry in university, and knowing that carcinogenic (cancer-causing) benzene rings are used in making plastics, I try to avoid heating foods with plastic (touching the food) as much as possible.

    When they get hot, they will start to steam.

    All the Mexicans I know just zap them on a plate, or heat them on the gas burner of the stove.

    No, I would wrap them in paper towels.

    No.   Someone was pulling your leg.
