Ortega Whole Wheat Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made from whole wheat flour. They are a versatile base for many meals, offering a slightly heartier texture and nutty flavor compared to white flour tortillas. The whole grain content contributes to their distinct character and appearance. They are typically pliable and easy to fold or roll.
How people cook with it
Whole wheat tortillas are a convenient choice for quick meals and snacks. They can be used in a variety of ways, from breakfast burritos to simple wraps.
- Wrap fillings for lunch
- Make breakfast burritos

To soften them for easier handling, gently warm them before filling. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or briefly in a microwave. Once warm and pliable, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients. Fold or roll them to enclose the contents securely. They are excellent for a variety of savory and sweet fillings, providing a satisfying meal.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white flour tortillas, whole wheat tortillas have a darker color and a more robust, slightly earthy flavor due to the presence of the entire wheat kernel. Their texture can be a bit chewier, offering a different mouthfeel.
