What it is
These are round, flat bread-like items made from wheat flour. They are soft and pliable, making them easy to fold and fill. They are typically sold in packages and are a staple in many kitchens for quick and easy meal preparation. Their neutral flavor makes them versatile for various dishes.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are a convenient base for a wide range of meals. They can be used for both hot and cold preparations, offering a flexible way to assemble dishes.

To soften them for easier handling, you can warm them gently. Place a few at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side, until they are warm and flexible. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds. This makes them perfect for rolling or folding without cracking. They are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients and enjoyed immediately.
How it differs from similar foods
This pliability makes them ideal for wrapping larger fillings without tearing. Their flavor is also milder, allowing the taste of the fillings to be more prominent.
