To best enjoy these tortillas, a brief warming is recommended. This can be done on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, they can be warmed in a microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 15-20 seconds. Warming enhances their flexibility, making them ideal for rolling and folding without cracking. They are perfect for assembling tacos, enchiladas, or simply as a side to a meal.
How it differs from similar foods
This makes them less prone to breaking when folded or rolled, and they absorb sauces differently. Their flavor profile is also distinct, with a milder, doughier taste.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, it is best to reseal the remaining tortillas tightly to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Store them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be frozen, ensuring they are well-wrapped to avoid freezer burn.
