What it offers and why to use it
Thin and pliable dough made with wheat flour. It is used as a base for wraps, burritos, and quesadillas, and can be filled with cold or hot ingredients. Weigh the dough for consistent results. When working with dough, not all flours absorb moisture in the same way; for bread, use the crumb or toast it to restore its texture.
Mild cereal flavour and texture that depends on the grind, protein content, hydration, and cooking method.

Choose
When buying a wheat tortilla, choose the type that is suitable for your recipe and check that it is dry, free from insects, has no stale smell, and the packaging is not damaged.
Store
Store flour in a dry, airtight container; store bread in a closed container at room temperature and freeze portions if you won't use them immediately.
Prepare

How to make the most of it
Good pairings
Pairs well with eggs, milk, oil, butter, yeast, vegetables, meats, cheeses, and sauces.
How to substitute it
If you don't have a wheat tortilla, substituting a cereal or flour may require adjusting the liquid, fat, and binders; it may not always work in a 1:1 ratio.
