Signature Select Soft Taco Style Flour Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, pliable flour tortillas designed for making tacos and other Mexican-inspired dishes. They are made with flour, water, and oil, and are typically round and thin. The soft texture makes them easy to fold and fill. They come in a resealable package to help maintain freshness after opening. These tortillas are a convenient base for a variety of meals.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are a versatile staple for quick weeknight meals and casual entertaining. They are perfect for assembling your favorite taco fillings.
- Wrap around cooked meats
- Fill with vegetables
- Serve as a side dish
- Create quesadillas
To warm the tortillas, you can briefly heat them 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 of tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30 to 60 seconds. This makes them easier to handle and prevents them from cracking when folded. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your chosen ingredients and enjoyed.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more elastic, making them less prone to breaking when folded. They also have a slightly chewier texture and a milder flavor profile that complements a wide range of fillings without overpowering them.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and adaptable base for Mexican-style meals will find these tortillas useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to keep the remaining tortillas fresh. Store them in a cool, dry place at room temperature. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but be sure to warm them before serving to restore their softness.
