To enjoy these tortillas, you can warm them gently before serving. Place them on 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 30-60 seconds. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients and rolled or folded into your desired dish. They absorb flavors well and provide a satisfying texture.
