Bowl & Basket Whole Wheat Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made with whole wheat flour. They offer a slightly heartier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to those made with refined flour. The whole grain content provides a different eating experience. They come in a convenient package for easy use.
How people cook with it
Whole wheat tortillas are a versatile staple in many kitchens. They serve as a base for numerous quick meals and snacks.
- Rolled into wraps
- Folded into quesadillas
- Used for breakfast burritos
- Cut into chips
To soften them for easier handling, gently warm them before filling. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side, or briefly in a microwave. Warming prevents tearing when you roll or fold them. They are ideal for creating burritos, tacos, or fajitas. They can also be used as a base for mini pizzas or cut into wedges and baked until crisp for homemade tortilla chips.
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 inclusion of the entire wheat kernel. This difference in flour composition also affects their color, making them a browner shade.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and adaptable pantry item for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be frozen, ensuring they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn. Thaw them at room temperature before use.
