- Wrap for burritos

- Serve as a side
To best enjoy them, warm the tortillas before filling. You can heat them gently 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 a short time. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients like seasoned meats, beans, rice, cheese, and vegetables, then rolled or folded.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are typically larger and have a softer, more flexible texture. Their wheat-based composition gives them a slightly different flavor profile and a chewier mouthfeel, making them better suited for substantial fillings that might otherwise break through thinner wraps.

Home cooks looking for a convenient and versatile base for family meals will find these useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused tortillas in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them at room temperature to maintain their softness. For longer storage, they can be frozen, ensuring they remain fresh for future use.
