To best enjoy these mini yellow corn 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, until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, they can be warmed in a microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 15-20 seconds. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients for tacos, or used as a base for toppings.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger tortillas, these mini versions are specifically designed for smaller portions and appetizers. Their corn-based composition gives them a different flavor and texture profile than flour tortillas, which tend to be chewier and more elastic. The yellow corn variety offers a slightly different visual appeal and taste nuance.

How to keep the rest
