To enjoy these tortillas, you can warm them gently before serving. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30 seconds. Warming enhances their texture and makes them easier to fold and fill without tearing. They are perfect for assembling quick lunches or dinners.
How it differs from similar foods
They have a milder taste that complements a broader range of fillings without overpowering them. Their flexibility also makes them ideal for rolling tightly without breaking.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, it is best to reseal the remaining tortillas tightly to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Store them at room temperature in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate them for longer storage. Ensure they are well-sealed to preserve their softness.
