To warm them, you can place them on 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 20-30 seconds. Warming them makes them more flexible and enhances their flavor, preventing them from cracking when you fold or roll them for your favorite dishes. They are excellent for creating handheld meals.
