These are small, round flatbreads made from wheat flour. They are thin and pliable, designed for easy folding and rolling.

People use these tortillas for quick meals and snacks. They are a convenient base for many different types of food.
To soften them for rolling or folding, you can warm them gently. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or in a microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for 15-20 seconds. Warming makes them more pliable and less likely to crack when filled or rolled. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your chosen ingredients and assembled into wraps, burritos, or quesadillas. They can also be cut into smaller pieces for appetizers or snacks.
Compared to larger tortillas, these snack-sized versions are more manageable for smaller portions. Their smaller diameter means less excess dough when making certain dishes, and they are easier to handle for children or for creating bite-sized appetizers. They cook and soften similarly to larger wheat tortillas.
Home cooks and busy individuals often choose these for quick meal solutions.
After opening, keep any remaining tortillas in their original packaging, sealed tightly to prevent them from drying out. Store them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be frozen, ensuring they are well-wrapped to avoid freezer burn.
