Ortega Whole Wheat Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made with whole wheat flour. 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 or filled.

To warm them, you can place them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds. For quesadillas, fill them with cheese and other ingredients, fold in half, and cook in a skillet until golden brown and the cheese is melted. They are also excellent for making burritos or enchiladas.
