Weis Traditional Flour Tortillas for Burritos
What it is
These are soft, pliable flour tortillas designed for making burritos. They are typically made from wheat flour, water, and a leavening agent, giving them a tender texture. The large size is ideal for wrapping around a generous amount of fillings. They are a convenient base for a variety of meals, offering a mild flavor that complements many ingredients. Their flexibility makes them easy to fold and hold together.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are a versatile staple in many kitchens, perfect for quick meals and snacks.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas

- Cut for chips
To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them slightly before filling and folding. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet 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 20-30 seconds. Once warmed, fill them with your desired ingredients, such as seasoned meats, beans, rice, cheese, and vegetables. Fold in the sides and then roll them up tightly to create a secure burrito.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more flexible, making them easier to roll without tearing. Their flavor is also milder, allowing the fillings to be the star of the dish. These large burrito-sized tortillas are distinct from smaller taco or fajita tortillas due to their generous diameter.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to assemble hearty meals will find these tortillas useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal any unused tortillas tightly to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Store them in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate them for longer storage. Ensure they are properly sealed to avoid exposure to air, which can cause them to become stale.
