What it is
These are soft, pliable flatbreads made from wheat flour, water, and a touch of fat. They are a staple in many kitchens, offering a versatile base for a wide range of dishes. Their tender texture makes them easy to fold and fill, providing a satisfying bite without being overly chewy. They are a convenient option for quick meals and snacks.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are perfect for creating quick and easy meals. They can be enjoyed hot or at room temperature.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas
- Serve with dips
- Fold for tacos
To enjoy them at their best, gently warm them before serving. You can do this by placing them on 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. Warming them enhances their flavor and makes them easier to handle for rolling and folding into your favorite dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, flour tortillas are generally softer and more flexible. Their wheat-based dough gives them a slightly different flavor profile and a more yielding texture, making them ideal for dishes where a substantial wrap is needed.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused tortillas in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them at room temperature to maintain their softness. For longer storage, they can be frozen, ensuring they remain fresh for future use.
