What it is

How people cook with it
These tortillas are a staple for creating handheld meals. They serve as the foundation for a variety of dishes, from quick lunches to hearty dinners.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas
- Fold for tacos
- Serve as a side
To enhance their pliability and flavor, warm the tortillas before filling. This can be done on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and slightly puffed. Alternatively, they can be briefly heated in a microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 20-30 seconds. Warming prevents them from cracking when rolled or folded, ensuring a better eating experience. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your chosen ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more elastic. This elasticity makes them easier to roll and fold without tearing, especially when filled generously. Their flavor is also milder and slightly richer due to the wheat flour and added fat.
Who it is for
Home cooks preparing quick and satisfying meals for families or individuals will find these tortillas convenient.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining tortillas in their original packaging or in an airtight container or resealable bag. Keep them at room temperature to maintain their softness. For longer storage, they can be frozen, separated by parchment paper, and thawed before use.
