To enjoy these tortillas, you can warm them gently before serving. Place them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are pliable and slightly warm.

Once warm, fill them with your favorite ingredients like seasoned meats, beans, vegetables, and cheese, then fold or roll them up.
