To best enjoy these tortillas, gently warm them before use. This can be done by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side until they become soft and pliable. Alternatively, they can be warmed in the microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for 20-30 seconds. Warming makes them more flexible and less likely to tear when filled and rolled. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients and folded into a burrito or other desired shape.
