How people cook with it
Flour tortillas are incredibly versatile in the kitchen. They are perfect for creating quick and satisfying meals.

To enjoy these tortillas, you can warm them gently 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. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 20-30 seconds. Warming makes them more flexible and enhances their flavor. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients and rolled or folded.

Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more elastic. They do not tend to crack or break as easily when folded or rolled, making them ideal for larger fillings. Their flavor is milder and more neutral, allowing the fillings to stand out.
