To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them slightly before filling and rolling. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they become soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds. Once warmed, fill them with your favorite ingredients like seasoned meats, beans, rice, cheese, and salsa. Roll them up tightly to keep the fillings secure.
