Carrefour Wheat and Corn Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made from a combination of wheat flour and corn flour. They are designed to be pliable and easy to fold or roll. The blend of flours gives them a slightly different texture and flavor compared to tortillas made with only one type of grain. They are a convenient base for many meals.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are a versatile ingredient for quick and easy meals. They can be enjoyed hot or cold.
- Wrap for fillings
- Base for quesadillas
- Cut into chips
- Serve with dips
To warm them, you can heat them gently in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, they can be warmed in the microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 20-30 seconds. Warming makes them easier to handle and improves their flavor and texture for wrapping or folding around your chosen fillings.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to 100% wheat tortillas, these have a slightly chewier texture and a more pronounced corn flavor. They are generally softer and more flexible than corn-only tortillas, making them less prone to cracking when folded or rolled.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused tortillas in a resealable bag or an airtight container at room temperature. This helps to keep them fresh and prevent them from drying out. They can also be refrigerated for longer storage, though they may become slightly firmer.
