To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them before serving. You can do this by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are pliable and slightly puffed. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 30 seconds. Be careful not to overheat them, as they can become brittle. Once warm, fill them with your favorite ingredients, fold, and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
