To best enjoy their texture, warm the tortillas before serving. You can do this by briefly heating them 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 30-60 seconds. This process helps to prevent them from cracking when folded or rolled, ensuring a better eating experience for your chosen fillings.
