Flour tortillas come in two types - pressed and hand stretched.
ABUELITA offers a wide variety of both.

Pressed Tortillas
Pressed Tortillas are thicker and very pliable. The ability to roll them without cracking makes them the preferred tortilla for wraps. They are also great for quesadillas and burritos due to their pliability and ease of use.

Hand Stretched Tortillas
Hand Stretched Tortillas are the traditional style of Mexican tortillas. They are thinner and are not as pliable unless heated. Hand stretched tortillas are perfect for fried salad bowls, quesadillas and chimichangas since they do not puff or blister when fried. These tortillas, prized for being thin, are the tortillas commonly used in Mexican restaurants for burritos.

ABUELITA flour tortillas are shipped frozen allowing the operator to pull and thaw the tortillas as needed.

• Store in your freezer for up to 6 months, in a refrigerator for 3-4 weeks or room temperature for 2 days.
• Let tortillas thaw in fridge overnight before use, room temperature is even better.
• Pressed tortillas can be rolled as cold as 60 degrees but work best when around 95 - 100 degrees.
• Never microwave flour tortillas to thaw.
• Use our re-sealable bags to keep fresh.

This is a guideline for optimal conditions.
