What it is

They are typically pliable and easy to fold or roll, making them suitable for many culinary applications. They offer a different texture and taste compared to white flour tortillas.

To warm them, you can briefly 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 20-30 seconds. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled and rolled or folded. They absorb flavors well, making them a great vehicle for both savory and sweet ingredients.
