Best way to warm up a lot of tortillas?
I have over 200 corn and flour tortillas I need to warm up for a wedding buffet. I want to get them warm enough to be pliable (definitely not stiff), and I imagine I'll do them in batches, maybe one fourth to one third at a time. What do you think is the best way to heat up a lot at once? Wrap in foil and put in a low oven? How do I keep them from getting too steamy and sticking to each other?

Maybe a larger hardware solution is needed, as you need to deliver warm food to a large group without too much delay.
You know those portable grills that can be rented, made for higher-volume grilling? They can be brought on-site by any car or truck that has a trailer hitch. They are often use in situations like this.
Typically, you would be warming other food on them as well (which defrays the cost). Planned well, it might not reduce your profit margin too much.
Otherwise, I have a question. If there is a generous bar at this wedding, people may not notice if the tortillas are heated at all. I'm sorry if that sounds rude, but... I've been to a few of those weddings. :-)
