La Banderita Birria Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, pliable corn tortillas that have been infused with the rich, savory flavors of birria. Birria is a traditional Mexican stew, often made with goat or beef, slow-cooked with chiles and spices. The tortillas absorb these deep, complex tastes during their preparation, offering a ready-made flavor base for a variety of dishes. They are pre-cooked and ready to heat and serve, making them a convenient way to enjoy birria-inspired meals.

To best enjoy their flavor, gently warm the birria tortillas before serving. You can heat them on a dry skillet or comal over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for a short period. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your favorite birria meat and toppings, or used as a base for other Mexican-inspired creations. Their infused flavor means they require less additional seasoning.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain corn tortillas, these birria tortillas come pre-seasoned with the distinct, savory, and slightly spicy notes characteristic of birria stew. This eliminates the need to season the tortilla itself, providing a shortcut to authentic birria flavor in your cooking.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness and pliability, store any unused tortillas in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them at room temperature and consume within a few days of opening. Avoid refrigeration, as it can make them stiff.
