Soft Flour Tortillas for Burritos
What it is
These are large, round flatbreads made from wheat flour, designed to be soft and pliable. They are a staple in Mexican-inspired cuisine, providing a convenient wrapper for a variety of fillings. Their flexible texture makes them ideal for rolling and folding without cracking. They come pre-cooked and ready to be warmed and filled.

To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them slightly before filling. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 20-30 seconds. Once warm, spread your desired fillings evenly across the center, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose everything.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more elastic, making them easier to roll without tearing. They also have a milder flavor that complements a wide range of fillings without overpowering them.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal any unused tortillas tightly to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Store them in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life. Ensure they are well-sealed to keep them soft.
