What it is
These are uncooked flour tortillas, ready to be heated and enjoyed. They are typically made from wheat flour, water, and a small amount of fat and leavening. The dough is formed into thin, round discs before cooking. This product offers a convenient way to have fresh tortillas at home without making them from scratch.

To prepare, heat the tortillas on a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, until they are warm and pliable.

Unlike pre-cooked or frozen tortillas, these require heating just before serving, which allows for a fresher taste and texture. They are thinner than some corn tortillas and lack the distinct corn flavor, making them a neutral canvas for various fillings.
