To soften them for easier handling and rolling, gently warm them before use. This can be done by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for a short period. Once warm, they become more pliable and less likely to crack when filled and rolled. They are perfect for enclosing generous amounts of ingredients for a satisfying meal.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to smaller tortillas, these 'Burrito Grande' versions offer significantly more surface area. This larger size is specifically engineered to accommodate a greater volume of fillings without tearing. Their texture is generally softer and more flexible than corn tortillas, making them easier to roll tightly.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to assemble hearty meals and snacks will find these tortillas useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, though they may become slightly firmer and require rewarming before use. Ensure they are properly sealed to prevent them from drying out.
