What it is

How people cook with it
Flour tortillas are a staple for quick meals and snacks. They can be filled and rolled or folded for a satisfying bite.
- Rolled for burritos
- Folded for tacos
- Used as a wrap
- Cut into chips
To enjoy these tortillas, you can warm them gently before filling. Place them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds. This process makes them more flexible and enhances their flavor, preparing them for your favorite fillings like meats, beans, or vegetables.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas have a softer, chewier texture and a milder flavor. Their pliability makes them ideal for wrapping larger fillings without breaking, unlike some corn tortillas which can be more delicate. The wheat flour base also gives them a slightly different taste profile.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and adaptable ingredient for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, ensuring they are well-sealed to prevent them from drying out. They can also be frozen for extended preservation.
