To best enjoy their soft texture, warm the tortillas 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 30-60 seconds. Warming makes them more flexible and enhances their flavor. Once warm, they are ready to be filled and folded or rolled into your desired dish.
