Soft Taco Style Flour Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, pliable flour tortillas designed for making tacos. They are pre-cooked and ready to be heated and filled. The tortillas are made from wheat flour and have a mild, slightly chewy texture. They come in a convenient size, perfect for individual servings. Their flexible nature makes them easy to fold or roll around your favorite fillings.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are a versatile base for a variety of meals. They are commonly used for quick dinners and casual gatherings.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas
- Serve with dips
- Fold for tacos
To prepare these tortillas, you can warm them gently to enhance their pliability and flavor. Place them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side, or until they are soft and warm. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds. Be careful not to overheat, as this can make them brittle. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your chosen ingredients and folded into your desired shape.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more elastic. They have a different flavor profile, often described as more neutral or slightly sweet. Their texture is less prone to cracking when folded, making them ideal for dishes where a sturdy yet flexible wrap is preferred.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused tortillas in a resealable bag or an airtight container. Keep them at room temperature to maintain their softness. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before warming to prevent them from becoming tough.
