To enjoy them at their best, warm them slightly before serving. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. You can also wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 20-30 seconds. Warming enhances their flavor and makes them easier to fold without tearing, which is crucial for creating well-formed wraps and burritos. They are also excellent when used as a base for pizzas.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more flexible. Their larger size often makes them better suited for wrapping larger fillings. The flavor profile is also different, with flour tortillas having a milder, more neutral taste that complements a wide range of ingredients.
