A WORD ABOUT TORTILLAS

   Tortillas are baked using the same ingredients as our standard "daily bread."  Tortillas are round and flat, convenient to fold or roll and great for "finger eating."  Their calories per ounce are approximately the same as the calories per ounce in bread.  Because pressed flour tortillas have a sealed surface, they do not absorb juices; consequently, they do not get soggy like regular bread.

HEATING & FREEZING TORTILLAS

   Tortillas are best when heated and should be rolled and folded when warm and pliable to prevent cracking.  Corn and flour tortillas may be heated on a hot griddle for a few seconds per side, by covering them with a damp towel and heating them in a microwave oven for 10-20 seconds, or by wrapping them in foil and placing them in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 15 minutes.
  
Both corn and flour tortillas can be frozen; however, freezing can cause the tortillas to dry out.

OUR CRUMBLE TEST

As shown in the pictures to the right, a heated MexAmerica flour tortilla can be crumbled into a ball and returned to its original shape without falling apart.
