How people cook with it
These tortillas are ideal for creating satisfying meals that are quick to prepare. They serve as a convenient wrapper for a wide variety of fillings.
- Breakfast burritos
- Lunch wraps
- Quesadillas
- Enchilada bases
To soften them for rolling or folding, you can gently warm them. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or briefly in the microwave. Warming makes them more flexible and less likely to tear. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your chosen ingredients and then rolled or folded into your desired shape. They can also be used as a base for baked dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to smaller tortillas, these extra-large ones offer more surface area for generous fillings. Their flour base gives them a softer, more pliable texture than corn tortillas, which can sometimes be more brittle when not heated properly.

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to prevent the tortillas from drying out. Store them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be frozen, ensuring they remain fresh for future use.
