Tips

Warm tortillas slightly before filling to prevent cracking during rolling and make them more pliable for easier wrapping.

What if my tortillas keep tearing when rolling?

Warm tortillas in microwave for 15-20 seconds or in dry pan to make them more pliable before filling.

How long will these keep in the refrigerator?
