IGA Whole Wheat Tortilla Wraps
What it is
These are large, round flatbreads made with whole wheat flour. They are soft and pliable, designed for wrapping around fillings. The whole wheat flour gives them a slightly heartier texture and a different flavor profile compared to white flour tortillas. They are a convenient base for a variety of meals and snacks, offering a good source of carbohydrates. Each wrap is a substantial size, suitable for generous portions.
How people cook with it
These versatile wraps are excellent for creating quick and easy meals. They can be used for both hot and cold preparations.
- Rolled up with deli meats and cheese
- Filled with cooked chicken and vegetables
- Used as a base for breakfast burritos
- Cut into wedges for dipping
To soften the wraps for easier handling, you can gently warm them. Place a few at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Once warm and pliable, spread your desired fillings across the surface, fold in the sides, and then roll tightly from the bottom up. They are perfect for packing lunches or for a fast dinner.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white flour tortillas, whole wheat tortillas have a denser texture and a nuttier, more robust flavor due to the inclusion of the entire wheat kernel. They tend to be less stretchy but hold their shape well when filled and rolled.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and filling option for lunches and dinners.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining wraps in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before using to ensure they are pliable.
