Their texture makes them ideal for wrapping around a variety of fillings. The dough is usually leavened, giving them a slightly airy quality. They are a versatile base for many meals and snacks, offering a mild, slightly sweet flavor that complements both savory and sweet ingredients.

To enjoy them at their best, warm them gently before serving. You can do this on 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 a short period. Warming enhances their flexibility, making them easier to fold and preventing them from cracking when filled or rolled. They are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients immediately after warming.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, these flour tortillas are softer and more flexible due to the wheat flour and leavening. They have a milder flavor that does not compete with fillings as much as some corn tortillas might. Their pliability makes them better suited for rolling into larger wraps without breaking.
