To soften and warm these tortillas for optimal use, you can heat them gently. Place them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 to 30 seconds per side, until they are warm and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30 to 60 seconds. This process ensures they are flexible enough to fold or roll without tearing, making them ideal for assembling burritos, quesadillas, or soft tacos.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, these flour tortillas are typically softer, more pliable, and have a slightly chewier texture. Their larger size also makes them better suited for substantial wraps and dishes where a larger surface area is needed to contain multiple ingredients.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, and they will keep for several days. Ensure they are well-sealed to prevent them from drying out.
