Mission Flour Tortillas for Burritos
What it is
These are large, soft flatbreads made from wheat flour, water, and fat. They are designed to be pliable and easy to fold, making them ideal for wrapping around various fillings. The texture is smooth and slightly chewy, providing a satisfying base for any meal. They come pre-cooked and ready to use, offering a convenient way to assemble dishes quickly.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are a versatile staple in many kitchens, perfect for creating a wide range of meals and snacks.
- Wrap burritos and enchiladas
- Make quesadillas
- Use as a base for pizzas
- Serve with dips
To best enjoy these tortillas, gently warm them before filling and folding. You can heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Once warmed, spread your desired fillings across the center, fold in the sides, and then roll up tightly to create a secure wrap.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer, more flexible, and have a milder flavor. Their larger size also makes them better suited for substantial fillings like those found in burritos. The texture is less prone to cracking when folded.
Who it is for
Home cooks and busy families often choose these tortillas for quick and easy meal preparation.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal any unused tortillas tightly in their original packaging or an airtight container. Store them at room temperature to maintain their softness. For longer storage, they can be refrigerated, though they may become slightly firmer.
