How people cook with it
Soft flour tortillas are a fundamental component in many popular dishes. They serve as the edible wrapper for countless culinary creations.
- Wraps for lunch
- Bases for quesadillas
- Roll-ups for snacks
- Components for enchiladas
To best enjoy their soft texture, these tortillas can be gently warmed. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly puffed. Alternatively, they can be heated briefly in a microwave, covered with a damp paper towel, for about 15-20 seconds. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your chosen ingredients and folded or rolled to create your desired dish. They absorb flavors well when used in baked dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more flexible. They have a milder flavor profile that does not compete with fillings. Their larger size also often makes them more suitable for wrapping larger quantities of ingredients.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be frozen, ensuring they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn. Thaw them completely before using.
