To enjoy them at their best, warm the tortillas slightly before serving. This can be done by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or by wrapping a stack in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Warming makes them more flexible and enhances their flavor. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients, from savory meats and vegetables to sweet spreads.
