That is not my hint. That's Mistral's. Here is mine.
Instead of trying to dip the tortillas in hot oil, I take a saucer that a tortilla just fits in, brush it with oil using my pastry brush, then start brushing each tortilla lightly with oil and stacking until you have the desired number. Then cover with plastic wrap & microwave for a minute or so until they are hot but not overheated. This works great & uses lots less oil & makes lots less mess.
I never dip them in sauce before they've been heated in or with oil first. They turn to mush when you bake them.
