Simple Truth Organic Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, pliable flatbreads made with organic ingredients. They are a versatile base for many meals and snacks. The dough is typically made from corn or wheat flour, water, and a leavening agent. They are cooked on a griddle or comal until they are warmed through and slightly browned in spots. This version is made with organic flour, ensuring it meets specific agricultural standards.
How people cook with it
Tortillas are a staple in many cuisines, particularly Mexican and Tex-Mex. They are ideal for wrapping, filling, or serving alongside dishes.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for tacos
- Serve with dips
- Cut into chips
To warm tortillas, you can briefly heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat until they become pliable and slightly puffed. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 30 seconds. For a slightly toasted flavor, a quick pass over an open gas flame or under a broiler can be used, but watch them closely to prevent burning. They are best served warm, as this enhances their texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to pre-fried tortilla chips, these tortillas are soft and uncooked, offering a fresh, pliable texture. They are not crispy like a chip but are designed to be heated and used as a wrap or base. The organic certification indicates the ingredients are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and adaptable pantry item for quick meals and appetizers.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, it is best to reseal the remaining tortillas tightly to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Store them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. If you will not use them within a few days, they can be refrigerated or frozen for longer storage.
