Azteca Foods Ultragrain Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made with a blend of enriched wheat flour and whole wheat flour. They are designed to offer a slightly heartier texture and a more complex flavor profile compared to traditional white flour tortillas. The inclusion of whole wheat flour contributes to their unique composition and appearance. They are pre-cooked and ready to be heated and filled.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are a versatile base for a wide range of meals and snacks. They can be warmed and used as a wrap or as a base for baked dishes.
- Wrap for burritos
- Base for quesadillas
- Serve with dips
- Cut into chips
To best enjoy the texture and flavor, warm the tortillas before serving. You can heat them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes per side until pliable and slightly browned. Alternatively, they can be warmed in the microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 30 seconds. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients and folded or rolled.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to 100% white flour tortillas, Ultragrain tortillas have a slightly chewier texture and a more pronounced, nutty flavor due to the whole wheat flour. Their color is also a bit darker, reflecting the presence of whole grains.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a versatile and slightly more substantial tortilla option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be refrigerated, but allow them to come to room temperature before heating to ensure they are soft and pliable.
