The texture is tender, and they have a mild corn flavor that complements many ingredients. They are pre-cooked and ready to be heated and served.

To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them before serving. You can do this by lightly 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 30-60 seconds. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your choice of ingredients, such as cooked meats, beans, cheese, and vegetables, then folded or rolled.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to flour tortillas, corn tortillas have a distinct corn flavor and a slightly chewier texture. They are also typically smaller and more delicate, making them ideal for traditional taco preparations where they are folded rather than rolled like a burrito.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to prepare classic Mexican dishes will find these tortillas useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused tortillas in a resealable bag or an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, they can be refrigerated or frozen, ensuring they remain fresh for future use.
