Tumaro's Gourmet Tortillas
Tumaro's Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, pliable flatbreads made with whole wheat flour. They offer a slightly heartier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to tortillas made with refined white flour. The whole grain content contributes to their characteristic color and makes them a satisfying base for many meals. They are pre-cooked and ready to be heated or used as is.
How people cook with it
Tortillas are a versatile staple in many kitchens, perfect for quick meals or snacks. They can be filled, rolled, or layered.
- Wraps for lunch
- Quesadillas
- Taco shells
- Burritos
To enjoy them warm and flexible, gently heat them before filling. You can do this by placing them one at a time on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side, until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-45 seconds. Be careful not to overheat, as they can become brittle. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white flour tortillas, whole wheat tortillas have a denser texture and a more pronounced, earthy flavor due to the presence of the entire wheat kernel. Their color is also a deeper brown. This difference in flour composition affects both the taste and the overall mouthfeel of the finished dish.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and adaptable base for a variety of dishes will find these useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to maintain freshness and prevent the tortillas from drying out. Store them in a cool, dry place at room temperature. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before heating to ensure maximum pliability.
