Old El Paso Flour Tortillas for Burritos

What it is

These are soft, round flatbreads made from wheat flour. They are a staple in Mexican-inspired cuisine and are designed to be pliable enough for wrapping around fillings. Each package contains eight individual tortillas, offering a convenient option for meals and snacks. Their texture is smooth and slightly chewy, making them versatile for various dishes.

How people cook with it

These tortillas are ideal for creating hearty burritos or other wrapped meals. They serve as a base for a wide range of savory ingredients.

• Wrap burritos
• Make quesadillas
• Use as a taco shell
• Create enchiladas

To best prepare these tortillas for wrapping, gently warm them before use. This can be done by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 15-30 seconds. Warming makes them more flexible and less likely to tear when filled and rolled. Once warm, spread your desired fillings in the center and fold in the sides before rolling them up tightly to enclose the contents.

How it differs from similar foods

Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more elastic. This pliability makes them better suited for wrapping larger fillings without breaking. Their flavor is also milder and more neutral, allowing the taste of the fillings to be more prominent.

Who it is for

Home cooks preparing family meals or individuals looking for a quick and adaptable meal base 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 or refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. Ensure they are properly sealed to prevent them from drying out.
