To best enjoy their soft texture, warm the tortillas before serving. You can do this by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, until they are pliable and slightly puffed. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 20-30 seconds. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients and folded or rolled into delicious meals. Avoid overcooking, which can make them brittle.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, these whole wheat tortillas are softer and more flexible, making them less prone to cracking when folded. They also offer a distinct nutty flavor and a chewier texture due to the whole grain content. Their larger surface area compared to some smaller varieties also makes them suitable for more substantial fillings.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to maintain freshness and prevent the tortillas from drying out. Store them in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but be sure to warm them thoroughly before use to restore their soft texture.
