How people cook with it
People use these tortillas to create quick and easy meals. They are a convenient way to assemble dishes like tacos, burritos, and quesadillas.
- Wrap around fillings for burritos
- Fold with cheese for quesadillas
- Serve as a side with chili
- Use as a base for enchiladas
To enjoy these tortillas, warm them gently before serving. You can 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 in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds. Warming them enhances their flexibility and flavor, making them perfect for rolling or folding around your favorite fillings. Avoid overcooking, which can make them brittle.

Compared to corn tortillas, these flour tortillas are softer and more flexible, making them easier to roll and less likely to tear. They also have a milder, slightly sweeter flavor profile than the earthier taste of corn. This difference in texture and taste makes them suitable for different types of fillings and preparations.
