How people cook with it
These tortillas are a versatile base for a variety of Mexican-inspired meals.
- Wrap fillings for tacos
- Layer for enchiladas
- Serve as a side with dips
- Create crispy tostadas
To warm them, heat a dry skillet over medium heat and cook each tortilla for about 20-30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly puffed. Alternatively, wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds. For crispy tostadas, bake or fry them until golden and firm. They are best used shortly after warming to maintain their soft texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to flour tortillas, these corn tortillas have a distinct corn flavor and a slightly more delicate texture. They tend to be less stretchy than flour tortillas, requiring gentle handling when folding.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to prevent the tortillas from drying out. Store them in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to a week. For longer storage, they can be frozen in their original packaging.
