To soften them for easier folding and wrapping, 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, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Once warm and pliable, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients and rolled or folded into your desired dish. They can also be used as a base for baked casseroles, layered with fillings and sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to smaller tortillas, these extra-large ones offer more surface area, allowing for more substantial fillings and a more robust wrap. Their flour composition provides a softer texture than corn tortillas, making them easier to roll without cracking, especially when warmed.
