To best enjoy these tortillas, 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 in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds. Warming them enhances their flavor and texture, making them ideal for filling and serving immediately. They are best when served fresh and warm.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to flour tortillas, corn tortillas have a distinct, slightly earthy corn flavor and a more delicate texture. They are also typically smaller and less elastic than flour versions. The white corn masa used here offers a lighter color and a subtly different taste profile than those made with yellow corn.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused tortillas in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them at room temperature to maintain their softness. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but they may become firmer and require more thorough warming before use.
