Tips for the Best Result
Warming the tortillas before filling prevents cracking when you fold them. Cold flour tortillas are significantly more likely to split at the fold, which causes filling to spill during baking. A quick 15 seconds in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel, or 30 seconds in a dry skillet over medium heat, makes them pliable enough to fold without tearing. Do not overfill — the pockets should be generous but not so stuffed that they cannot be folded shut. A tablespoon or two of cream cheese mixture and a similar amount of beef per tortilla is the right proportion; too much filling prevents the edges from sealing properly.
