What it is
These are soft, pliable flour tortillas made with butter. They are a convenient and versatile staple for many meals. The addition of butter contributes to their tender texture and a subtle richness that plain flour tortillas might lack. They are pre-cooked and ready to be heated and served.

To enjoy them at their best, heat the tortillas before serving. You can warm 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 30-60 seconds. This process ensures they are warm and easy to fold without cracking, making them perfect for filling and enjoying.
