To enjoy them warm and flexible, heat them gently before serving. You can do this by placing them one at a time on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 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. Be careful not to overheat, as they can become brittle. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled and folded.
