How people cook with it
These tortillas are a fundamental ingredient for creating many popular dishes. They serve as the edible wrapper for a variety of fillings.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas

To prepare Manny's Flour Tortillas for use, they can be gently warmed to enhance their pliability and flavor. This can be done by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for a short period. Warming them makes them easier to fold and prevents them from cracking when rolled or stuffed. They are then ready to be filled with your chosen ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more elastic due to the wheat flour content. This makes them less prone to breaking when used as a wrap. Their flavor is also milder, allowing the fillings to be the primary taste sensation.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused tortillas in their original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps maintain their freshness and prevents them from drying out. They can also be refrigerated for longer storage.
