Onion Flavored Tortillas
What it is
These are thin, round flatbreads made from flour and water. They have been infused with the savory flavor of onions, giving them a distinct aromatic quality. The texture is typically soft and pliable, making them suitable for a variety of culinary applications. They are a convenient way to add a subtle onion taste to meals without needing to chop or cook fresh onions.

To warm them, you can briefly heat them on a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 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 30-45 seconds. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients, folded, or used as a base for other dishes. Avoid overcooking, as this can make them brittle.
