What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made with certified organic wheat flour. They are a convenient pantry staple for quick meals. The flour provides a neutral base that readily absorbs other flavors. They are pliable and easy to fold or roll, making them suitable for a variety of dishes. The organic certification indicates that the ingredients are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. They come in a package designed to keep them fresh.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are incredibly versatile for both simple snacks and more elaborate meals. They are a go-to for busy kitchens.
- Wraps for lunch
- Quesadillas for dinner
- Burritos for a hearty meal
- Tacos for a casual gathering
To warm them, you can briefly heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds. They can also be warmed in the oven. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients and rolled or folded into your desired shape. They are best used shortly after warming.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, these flour tortillas are generally softer and more flexible. Their texture is chewier, and the flavor is milder, allowing the fillings to be the star. They are also typically larger in diameter than most corn tortillas.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly or transfer the remaining tortillas to an airtight container or resealable bag. Store them at room temperature to maintain their softness. For longer storage, they can be frozen.
