What it is
These are soft, pliable flatbreads made from wheat flour. They have a mild flavor that makes them versatile for many dishes. They are typically round and come in various sizes, with this package containing a convenient amount for a few meals. The texture is smooth and slightly chewy, perfect for wrapping around fillings.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are a staple for quick meals and snacks. They serve as the base for many popular dishes.
- Wraps for lunch
- Quesadillas
- Tacos
- Burritos
To enhance their flavor and texture, warm the tortillas before serving. You can do this by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are soft and pliable, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 30 seconds. This warming process makes them easier to fold and prevents them from tearing when filled.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more flexible. Their wheat-based composition gives them a slightly different flavor profile and a chewier texture. This makes them ideal for dishes where a sturdy yet yielding wrap is desired.

Home cooks looking for a convenient base for a variety of meals will find these useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused tortillas in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them at room temperature to maintain their softness. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but they may become slightly firmer and require rewarming.
