How people cook with it
These tortillas are incredibly versatile, serving as the base for many quick and satisfying meals. They are perfect for both simple snacks and more elaborate dishes.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas
- Fold for tacos
- Use in enchiladas
To enjoy them at their best, warm them slightly before serving. You can heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can warm them in the microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 15-20 seconds. Warming them enhances their texture and makes them easier to fold and fill without tearing, which is essential for creating well-formed burritos or tacos.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more elastic. This makes them less prone to breaking when filled and folded, especially with generous amounts of ingredients. Their flavor is also milder, allowing the fillings to stand out.

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before warming to ensure they are soft and pliable.
