365 Whole Foods Market Whole Wheat Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made from whole wheat flour. They are a versatile staple in many kitchens, perfect for a quick meal or snack. The whole wheat flour gives them a slightly heartier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to those made with refined flour. They come in a resealable package to help maintain freshness.
How people cook with it
Tortillas are a fundamental ingredient for creating a variety of handheld meals and appetizers. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
- Wrap fillings for burritos
- Fold for quesadillas
- Serve as a base for pizzas
- Cut into triangles for chips
To soften and make them pliable for rolling or folding, gently warm the tortillas. This can be done by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side, or by wrapping a stack in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Warming prevents them from cracking when you add your fillings and fold them into your desired shape. They are excellent for encasing seasoned meats, beans, vegetables, and cheese.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, these whole wheat versions are typically larger and softer, with a chewier texture. They also have a more pronounced wheat flavor. Flour tortillas, in general, tend to be more flexible and less prone to breaking than corn tortillas when used for wrapping.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent the tortillas from drying out. Store them in a cool, dry place at room temperature. For longer storage, they can be frozen, and will keep well for several weeks.
