Cantina Mexicana Whole Wheat Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, pliable flatbreads made with whole wheat flour. They are a versatile base for a variety of meals and snacks. The whole wheat flour gives them a slightly heartier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to white flour tortillas. They are pre-cooked and ready to be heated and filled.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are excellent for creating quick and satisfying meals. They can be used in many different ways for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

To enjoy them at their best, gently warm the tortillas before filling. You can do this by 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 warm, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients and rolled or folded.

Compared to corn tortillas, whole wheat tortillas are typically larger and have a softer, more flexible texture. Their flavor is also distinct, offering a more robust, earthy taste due to the whole grain flour.
