To enjoy them warm, 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 briefly warmed in a microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 15-20 seconds. Once heated, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients. They can also be used as a base for baked dishes, where they will soften and absorb flavors. Their flexibility makes them easy to roll or fold without breaking.
How it differs from similar foods
This makes them less prone to tearing when rolled or folded, especially when filled generously. They also have a slightly different flavor profile, often described as milder and chewier.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, it is best to reseal the remaining tortillas tightly to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Storing them in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator will help preserve their texture and pliability for future use.
