To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them gently before serving. You can do this by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 20-30 seconds. Warming them enhances their flavor and texture, making them ideal for filling and folding without tearing.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, wheat flour tortillas are generally softer and more flexible. They have a milder flavor profile that complements a wider range of fillings. Their texture is less prone to cracking when folded, making them a preferred choice for heartier wraps.

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before warming to ensure they are soft.
