How people cook with it
Flour tortillas are incredibly versatile, serving as the base for many popular dishes. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
- Wrap burritos
- Make quesadillas
- Use as a taco shell
- Serve with dips
To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them before serving. You can do this by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds. Warm tortillas are easier to fold and roll without tearing, making them ideal for filling with your favorite ingredients for tacos, burritos, or fajitas. They also work well as a base for pizzas or as a side to serve with chili or soup.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas have a softer, chewier texture and a milder, slightly sweet flavor. Their larger size and pliability also make them better suited for wrapping larger fillings without breaking. Corn tortillas tend to be more crumbly and have a distinct corn taste.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and versatile base for everyday meals will find these tortillas useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal the unused tortillas tightly to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Store them in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature or warm them before use to restore their softness.
