Clover Valley Flour Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made from wheat flour, water, and a little fat. They are a versatile staple in many cuisines, particularly Mexican and Tex-Mex. Their pliable texture makes them ideal for wrapping around fillings. They are typically pre-cooked and ready to eat or warm.
How people cook with it
Flour tortillas are a popular choice for quick meals and snacks. They can be used in many ways, from simple wraps to more elaborate dishes.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas
- Serve with dips
- Cut into chips
To enjoy them at their best, you can warm them slightly before using. This makes them even more pliable and enhances their flavor. You can warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients and rolled or folded.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer, chewier, and have a milder flavor. Their larger size and flexibility also make them better suited for holding generous amounts of fillings without tearing.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, it's best to store any unused tortillas in an airtight container or resealable bag. This will help prevent them from drying out and keep them fresh for several days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
