Flour tortillas are a popular choice for wrapping and holding a variety of fillings. They are also used as a base for baked or fried dishes.
To warm flour tortillas, you can briefly heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, they can be warmed in a microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 20-30 seconds. This process makes them easier to roll and prevents them from cracking when filled. They are ideal for assembling tacos, enchiladas, or simply enjoying with your favorite salsa.
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer, more flexible, and have a milder flavor. Their wheat-based composition gives them a slightly different chewiness and a tendency to hold together better when stuffed with moist ingredients.
