I have always steamed tortilla using a pan of boiling water (just a few
mm of water in a saucepan) with one of those wire-screen spatter
stoppers over the top of the pan.  I just lay one tortilla at a time on
it, wait a few seconds, turn it over, spread some butter on it (the
steam will melt the butter nicely), and then heap the ingredients on it
while its still on the screen.  The tortilla doesn't stick to the wire
screen much, and the steam even cleans the accumulated grease out of the
wire screen that got put there when I cooked the filling.  Selah.
