To enjoy them at their best, you can gently warm them before filling. This can be done by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 15-20 seconds. Warming makes them easier to roll and fold without tearing.
