I steamed them for 30 seconds in the microwave then immersed them in the pan with warm enchilada sauce before attempting to roll and still got a couple cracks. Suggestions?


I heat mine up on a gas burner for about 20 seconds per side (per a Mexican gal I used to know). Seems to soften them up so they don't crack.
