To best enjoy these tortillas, a brief warming is recommended. You can heat them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, they can be warmed in a microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 15-20 seconds. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients, folded, or rolled to create a delicious meal. They absorb flavors well and hold their shape when filled.
