How people cook with it

To warm them for the best flavor and texture, you can briefly heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 20-30 seconds. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients for burritos, quesadillas, or any other dish where a soft flatbread is desired.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, wheat tortillas are generally softer and more flexible, making them less prone to tearing when rolled. They also have a milder flavor profile that complements a wider variety of fillings without overpowering them.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused tortillas in their original packaging, sealed tightly to prevent them from drying out. For longer storage, you can place the sealed package in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag and keep them in the refrigerator.
