To best enjoy the soft texture of these flour tortillas, it is recommended to warm them 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 20-30 seconds. Warming makes them more pliable and enhances their flavor, preventing them from cracking when folded or rolled. They are perfect for assembling your favorite filled meals.
