Signature Select Flour Tortillas Burrito Style
What it is
These are soft, pliable flatbreads made from wheat flour, water, and a touch of fat. They are larger than taco-sized tortillas, designed to hold generous fillings. Their texture is smooth and slightly chewy, making them ideal for wrapping and rolling. They come pre-cooked and ready to be warmed or filled.
How people cook with it
Flour tortillas are a versatile base for many meals. They are commonly used for wrapping a variety of ingredients to create portable and satisfying dishes.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas
- Folded for enchiladas
- Rolled for wraps
To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them before filling. This can be done by heating them briefly 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 the microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 15-20 seconds. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients like seasoned meats, beans, rice, cheese, and vegetables, then rolled or folded to create your desired dish.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, these flour tortillas are typically larger and have a softer, more flexible texture. They tend to hold together better when stuffed with wet or heavy ingredients, making them a preferred choice for larger, more substantial wraps.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to assemble quick and hearty meals will find these tortillas useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal any unused tortillas tightly to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Store them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be refrigerated, though this may slightly alter their texture.
