To best enjoy their soft texture, warm them before serving. You can heat them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly puffed. Alternatively, microwave them briefly in a damp paper towel for a few seconds. They are perfect for filling with your favorite ingredients and rolling up into a convenient meal or snack. Their mild flavor complements a wide range of fillings, from savory meats and vegetables to sweet spreads.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more flexible due to the wheat flour content. This pliability makes them easier to roll without tearing, especially when filled generously. They also have a slightly richer, milder flavor profile.
