Savani Pinsata! Tortillas
What it is
Pinsata! is a type of flatbread that is thin and round. It is made from a simple dough that is cooked quickly on a hot surface. This process gives it a light and slightly chewy texture. It is a versatile base for many different kinds of meals. The dough is typically made with flour, water, and a little bit of oil or fat. It is designed to be cooked and eaten shortly after preparation.
How people cook with it
These flatbreads are excellent for creating quick and satisfying meals. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients and enjoyed in many ways.
- Rolled with fillings
- Folded into pockets
- Served alongside dips
- Used as a base for toppings
To prepare Pinsata! for eating, it is best to warm it slightly. You can do this by placing it on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until it is soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can warm it in a microwave for a few seconds. Once warm, it is ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients, such as seasoned meats, vegetables, cheeses, or sauces. It can also be cut into wedges and used for dipping.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other flatbreads like pita or naan, Pinsata! is generally thinner and has a less pronounced leavening. This results in a more delicate texture that is less bready and more focused on holding other ingredients. Its rapid cooking method contributes to its distinct chewiness.

How to keep the rest
To keep any unused Pinsata! fresh, it is important to store them properly. After opening the package, reseal it tightly to prevent them from drying out. Store the package in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but be sure to bring them back to room temperature before warming.
