To enjoy them at their best, gently 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 become 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 texture and flavor, making them easier to fold and roll without cracking.
