To enjoy them at their best, gently warm the tortillas before serving. You can do this by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can microwave them for a few seconds, wrapped in a damp paper towel, to achieve a similar soft texture. This warming process enhances their flavor and makes them easier to fold without cracking, perfect for assembling your favorite fillings.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, wheat flour tortillas are generally softer and more flexible. They have a milder flavor profile that complements a wider range of fillings without overpowering them. Their texture is also less prone to breaking when folded tightly.
