How people cook with it
These tortillas are ideal for creating handheld meals. They serve as a blank canvas for a wide variety of flavors and ingredients.

- Base for quesadillas
- Fold for burritos
- Serve with dips
To best enjoy their soft texture, it is recommended to warm them before serving. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or by wrapping a stack in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30-60 seconds. Warming makes them more flexible and less likely to tear when filled and rolled. They are excellent for holding a variety of ingredients, from seasoned meats and vegetables to beans and cheese.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas have a softer, more pliable texture and a milder flavor. Their larger size also makes them better suited for wrapping larger fillings. They do not have the same slightly crisp edge that corn tortillas can develop when cooked.

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