What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made from wheat flour. They are a versatile staple in many kitchens, offering a pliable base for a variety of meals. The texture is generally soft and slightly chewy, making them easy to fold or roll. They are a convenient option for quick meals and snacks, providing a satisfying carbohydrate component.
How people cook with it
Wheat tortillas serve as a foundation for countless dishes, from simple wraps to more elaborate baked creations. Their neutral flavor makes them adaptable to both savory and sweet fillings.
- Wrap sandwiches
- Make quesadillas
- Create enchiladas
- Serve as a side
To soften them for easier handling, warm them gently. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or briefly in a microwave. Warming enhances their pliability, preventing them from cracking when folded or rolled. They are ideal for assembling wraps with your favorite fillings, layering ingredients for quesadillas, or using them as a base for baked dishes like enchiladas. They can also be cut into wedges and baked or fried to create chips.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to corn tortillas, wheat tortillas are typically softer and more flexible. They have a milder flavor profile that does not compete with fillings. Their larger size in some varieties also makes them suitable for larger wraps.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep unused tortillas sealed in their original packaging or in an airtight container. Store them at room temperature for short-term use or refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. Ensure they are properly sealed to prevent them from drying out.
