These are soft, pliable flatbreads made from wheat flour. They are a staple in many cuisines, particularly Mexican and Tex-Mex. The dough is typically made with flour, water, fat, and salt, then cooked on a griddle. They come in various sizes, and this package contains a generous amount for multiple meals. Their texture is smooth and slightly chewy, making them versatile for many dishes.
How people cook with it
Flour tortillas are a fundamental component in countless dishes, offering a convenient and delicious way to enjoy a variety of flavors.
- Rolled for burritos
- Folded for tacos

To best enjoy their soft texture, warm them before serving. This can be done on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable, or briefly in a microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel. Warming them makes them easier to roll and fold without cracking, enhancing the overall eating experience. They are perfect for assembling quick meals or snacks throughout the day.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more flexible. They have a milder flavor profile that complements a wider range of fillings without overpowering them. Their larger size also makes them ideal for wrapping larger portions of ingredients.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep any unused tortillas in their original packaging, sealed tightly to prevent them from drying out. Store them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be frozen, and will remain good for several weeks.
