How people cook with it
These tortillas are a versatile base for quick and easy meals. They are ideal for both simple lunches and more elaborate dinners.
- Wrap around fillings for burritos.
- Fill and fold for soft tacos.
- Use as a base for quesadillas.
- Cut into wedges for chips.
To enjoy these tortillas at their best, warm them gently before serving. You can do this by placing them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or by wrapping a stack in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30-45 seconds. This warming process makes them more flexible and enhances their flavor, preventing them from cracking when folded or rolled around your chosen ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more elastic. This pliability makes them less prone to breaking when stuffed with generous amounts of filling. Their texture is also typically chewier and their flavor is milder, making them a neutral canvas for diverse culinary creations.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and adaptable base for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal any unused tortillas tightly to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Store them in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator. For longer storage, you can freeze them in an airtight container or bag.
