To enjoy them at their best, gently warm the tortillas before serving. You can do this by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Be careful not to overheat, as this can make them tough. Once warm, they are ready to be filled and rolled.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, these flour tortillas are softer and more flexible, making them easier to roll without cracking. The fajita seasoning already incorporated provides a subtle flavor enhancement that corn tortillas typically lack, requiring separate seasoning for similar dishes.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful base for Mexican-inspired dishes will find these tortillas useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place or refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. Ensure they are properly sealed to prevent them from drying out.
