What is the correct way to grill a tortilla on the GTO grill?

Grilling a tortilla on the GTO grill is a crucial step in ensuring it has the right texture and flavor for a Taco Bell product. The recommended method of grilling for 5 seconds on the build side down and then 5 seconds on the build side up strikes a balance between achieving a warm, pliable tortilla without overcooking it.

This method allows the tortilla to maintain its moisture and freshness, which is essential for the overall quality of the final product. It also ensures that the tortilla does not become too crisp or hard, which would make it less enjoyable for customers. Proper heating helps in enhancing the flavors of the ingredients that will be added to the tortilla, ensuring a better taste experience.

Other grilling times may lead to either an undercooked or overcooked tortilla, affecting the integrity of the product being prepared. The grill timing specified helps in creating the ideal texture that aligns with Taco Bell's quality standards.
