To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them before serving. You can heat them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds. This process helps to release their aroma and makes them easier to fold without tearing, perfect for filling with your favorite ingredients. They are also suitable for grilling or toasting.
