To enjoy them at their best, gently warm them before serving. You can do this by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 20-30 seconds. Be careful not to overheat them, as they can become brittle. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled or used as a base for your culinary creations.
