To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them slightly before using. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable.

Once warmed, fill them with your desired ingredients, such as seasoned meats, beans, rice, cheese, and vegetables, then roll them up tightly to create a delicious burrito.
