What it is
These are uncooked flour tortillas, a flatbread made from wheat flour, water, and fat. They are typically round and thin, designed to be cooked before consumption. The dough is usually leavened with baking powder, giving them a slightly soft and pliable texture once prepared. They are a staple in many cuisines, offering a versatile base for a variety of dishes.
How people cook with it
Uncooked tortillas are a blank canvas for countless meals. They are meant to be heated to achieve their best texture and flavor.
- Wrap fillings for burritos
- Serve as a side for dips
- Create quesadillas
- Use as a base for pizzas
To prepare these uncooked tortillas, heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla at a time onto the hot surface. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, until small brown spots appear and the tortilla puffs slightly. You can also warm them briefly in a microwave or oven. Once heated, they are ready to be filled or served.

Unlike pre-cooked tortillas, these require an extra step of heating. This allows you to control the final texture, ensuring they are warm and pliable without becoming dry or brittle. They offer a fresher taste and aroma compared to those that have been cooked and packaged.
