Making tortillas (wraps)

I've just had a go at making my own tortillas for the first time, using bread flour & water. They've cooked up beautifully in a very hot dry frying pan.

However, I want to use them for enchilladas ie wrapping them up with filling in like pancakes. The tortillas I've made are rather crispy and not very bendable.

How can I get softer textured ones? Should I cook them at a lower heat, or for a shorter time?

No advice but didn't want your post to be left unanswered. If it's any consolation, mine always come out really crispy as well sad

Well done for making them, I've never tried ... but with the packet ones, a few seconds in the microwave makes them bendy enough to roll, would that work?

The Discovery ones I have in the cupboard list vegetable oil as the third highest ingredient, which packs the calories in sad, maybe that makes them bendy?
