To prepare these tortillas for fajitas, simply warm them before serving. You can heat 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 of tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds. This ensures they are warm and flexible, ready to hold your delicious fajita fillings without tearing. Avoid overcooking, which can make them brittle.
