What it is
These are large, soft flour tortillas designed for making burritos. They are pliable and easy to fold, making them suitable for wrapping around a variety of fillings. The texture is smooth and slightly chewy, providing a satisfying base for your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes. Each tortilla is individually sealed to maintain freshness and prevent them from drying out before use.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are a versatile base for many meals. They are perfect for creating hearty burritos or for serving alongside other dishes.

- Base for quesadillas
- Serve with dips
- Use in enchiladas
To prepare, gently warm the tortillas before filling and folding. You can warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds. This makes them easier to roll without cracking, ensuring your burritos hold together well. Once warmed, fill with your desired ingredients and fold the sides in before rolling tightly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more elastic, making them better suited for wrapping large fillings without tearing. Their flavor is milder, allowing the taste of the fillings to come through more prominently.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to assemble family-favorite Mexican dishes will appreciate these.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to keep the remaining tortillas fresh. Store them in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but be sure to warm them before use to restore their pliability.
