What it is

How people cook with it
These tortillas are perfect for creating quick and satisfying meals at home. They are a staple for many popular dishes.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas
- Serve with dips
- Fold for tacos
To enjoy them at their best, gently warm the tortillas before serving. You can do this by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 30 seconds. Be careful not to overcook them, as this can make them brittle. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled or used as a wrap.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to some other flatbreads, these tortillas are typically made with a higher proportion of flour and less water, contributing to their soft texture. They are generally thinner than some types of bread and lack the leavening found in products like pita or naan, resulting in a denser, chewier bite.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to prepare Mexican-inspired meals will find these tortillas useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, it is best to store any unused tortillas in an airtight container or resealable bag. This helps to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Keep them at room temperature for short-term storage or refrigerate for longer preservation.
