Extra Large Flour Tortillas
What it is
These are large, round flatbreads made from wheat flour. They are soft and pliable, designed for wrapping or folding around fillings. Each package contains six individual tortillas, providing a generous portion for meals. Their size makes them suitable for substantial servings and larger wraps.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are a versatile base for a wide range of dishes. They can be used for both quick meals and more elaborate preparations.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas
- Fold for tacos
- Cut for chips
To soften them for easier handling, warm them gently before use. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for a short period. This makes them more flexible and less likely to tear when you fill and fold them. They are ideal for creating hearty burritos, folded quesadillas, or as a soft shell for tacos. They can also be cut into wedges and baked or fried to make crispy tortilla chips for dipping.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to smaller tortillas, these extra-large ones offer more surface area. This allows for larger, more generously filled wraps and makes them better suited for dishes where the tortilla is a primary component, like a fully loaded burrito or a large folded pizza base.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a larger format flatbread for family meals or substantial individual portions.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be frozen, ensuring they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn. Thaw them at room temperature before use.
