To warm them, you can briefly heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side until pliable. Alternatively, wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Warming makes them more flexible and enhances their flavor. They are perfect for assembling tacos, enchiladas, or simply enjoying with your favorite spreads.
