La Badaerita 100% Whole Wheat Soft Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, pliable flatbreads made from 100% whole wheat flour. They are designed for easy folding and wrapping, making them ideal for a variety of handheld meals. The whole wheat flour provides a slightly heartier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to tortillas made with refined flour. They come in a resealable package to help maintain freshness after opening.
How people cook with it
Soft tortillas are a versatile base for many quick and satisfying meals. They are perfect for assembling dishes that are meant to be eaten by hand.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas
- Serve with dips
- Fold for tacos
To prepare, gently warm the tortillas before filling and folding. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or briefly in a microwave. Warming makes them more flexible and prevents them from cracking. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients, whether it's seasoned meats, vegetables, beans, or cheese, and then folded or rolled into your desired shape.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, these whole wheat tortillas are softer and more flexible, making them less prone to breaking when folded. They also have a distinct, slightly earthy flavor from the whole wheat flour, which is different from the mild taste of corn or white flour tortillas.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and wholesome option for weeknight dinners or casual lunches.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to prevent the tortillas from drying out. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be frozen, and then thawed at room temperature before use.
