Whole Wheat Tortilla Wraps
What it is

How people cook with it
These wraps are excellent for creating quick and easy meals. They can be used for both savory and sweet fillings.
- Rolled with deli meats and cheese
- Filled with scrambled eggs and vegetables
- Used as a base for personal pizzas
- Wrapped around cooked chicken or beans
To soften them for easier handling, gently warm them before filling. You can do this by placing them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 10-20 seconds. Once warm and pliable, spread your desired fillings evenly across the surface. Fold one edge over the filling, then fold in the sides, and finally roll tightly to enclose everything. They can be eaten as is or lightly grilled for a crispy finish.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, whole wheat tortillas are softer and more flexible, making them easier to wrap without breaking. They also have a more substantial texture and a slightly nutty taste that complements a wider range of fillings.
