I do basically the same as IC - except I don't believe in microwaves - I heat mine in a dry skillet to soften, I also deep fry them and sprinkle with various herbs/spices for different flavors.

And for those who don't want them fried (poor babies), you can shape and bake them as well.
Soften the tortilla by whatever method you prefer. Using an oven-proof bowl, drape the tortilla over the bowl, inverted on a baking sheet. Pop in the oven.
For smaller serving bowls, push the tortilla into a large cupcake cup and bake.

That works great for corn tortillas. You can also hang small corn tortillas over the wire grates in your oven and create your own taco shells.
I cut up my flour tortillas all the time to make my own tortilla chips, usually sprinkled with cumin and baked in the oven until crisp.

And, taking a short side-step, all of these techniques work well with egg roll wrappers and won-ton skins as well.

Believe it or not I have never tried cooking with Won-Ton wrappers or the Egg Roll wrappers either, I guess I have never felt brave enough, or am afraid mine will not turn out right. I bet by trying some this way first and becoming familiar with the product would help me venture forward:D Janie and my baby sister have both given me excellent Egg Roll recipes, and WonTon's I adore! I really should give it a shot!
