Tortilla and method of manufacture

摘要

An improved tortilla is provided which has increased shelf life while maintaining improved flexibility over the shelf life. The tortilla is comprised of flour, water and other plasticizing agents to provide a low moisture content product still having a high liquid content. The tortilla is cooked to completely gelatinize the starch in the interior of the tortilla. The tortilla is cooled, packaged and stored having about a ninety (90) day shelf life while maintaining sufficient flexibility to prevent appreciable cracking when folded for use.
