To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them before serving. You can heat them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 30 seconds. Warming them enhances their texture and makes them easier to fold without cracking, which is ideal for rolling up fillings or creating crispy edges in a pan.
How it differs from similar foods
They have a milder, slightly sweeter taste and a chewier texture. This makes them particularly well-suited for dishes where a sturdy yet yielding wrap is desired.

How to keep the rest
