To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them 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 makes them easier to fold without tearing, perfect for assembling your favorite fillings.
