How people cook with it
Tortillas are a fundamental ingredient for many popular meals. They serve as the base for a wide range of dishes, from quick snacks to more elaborate dinners.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for tacos
- Dipped in soup
- Fried for chips
To enjoy them warm, you can heat them on a dry skillet or griddle for about 30 seconds per side until they are pliable and slightly browned. Alternatively, you can warm them in a microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 15-20 seconds. This ensures they are soft and easy to handle when assembling your favorite dishes. They can also be used as a base for pizzas or cut into strips and fried to make tortilla chips.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other flatbreads like pitas or naan, tortillas are typically thinner and have a more delicate texture. Corn tortillas have a distinct earthy flavor from the masa, while flour tortillas are softer and chewier. This particular product is made from flour, offering a mild taste and flexible consistency.

Home cooks and families preparing everyday meals often reach for these tortillas.
How to keep the rest
