Recently, I had the opportunity to try one of the most amazing tortilla products* from Rise and Puff. Besides Organic Tortilla and Original Tortilla which I tried, Rise and Puff also has other offerings e.g. Gluten-Free Tortilla and Everything Tortilla.
What makes Rise and Puff unique and stand out among other competitor tortilla products is the simple and clean ingredient list. Just four clean ingredients in this award winning Original Tortilla: Unbleached Wheat Flour, Water, Avocado Oil, Sea Salt.
I am sold!
I have not seen any tortilla in the store with such simple and clean ingredient list. I also like that it uses avocado oil instead of highly processed oil soybean oil or canola oil which is known to be one of the causes of inflammation in our body. Avocado oil has a high smoking point compared to extra virgin olive oil, so a good reason to be in the ingredient list as during preparation/usage, as the tortilla may need to touch a hot pan or sit in a hot oven/air-fryer.
The recommendation preparation is to use a hot pan, cook each side for 30 seconds and watch the tortilla cook, turn hot and crispy/flaky in 1 minute. The longer you cook, the more crispy it becomes, so you control the outcome and how you want to enjoy the tortilla.
As I was planning to make a super taco with the flour tortilla, I stick to the recommended 30seconds per side so that the tortilla remains pliable to be enjoyed as taco. Our family's super taco loaded with pulled pork (substitute for carnitas), topped with onions, cilantro, with bonus avocado and fresh microgreens. Yes, all loaded and the tortilla still strong to withstand the delicious load, and pliable enough to fold without the taco breaking apart. What's amazing - the tortilla was soft yet flaky at the same time.
These tortilla tastes so fresh and delicious and makes great tacos. At this point of writing, I am already thinking of many other ways to enjoy this award winning product e.g. quesadilla, pizza, mini sandwich wraps/rolls and even something as simple as enjoying these tortilla with everyone's favorite - peanut butter!
I also tested and tried oven-method to warm/cook the tortilla and it worked perfectly. Preheat oven 400F and toast/cook each side for about 2 minutes. It's just so therapeutic to see the tortilla rise, bubble and puff!
2-minute may seem longer than stove-top method; but remember, if you use the oven, you can cook a batch of a few tortillas at one time, so the cooking duration might turn out shorter for making 6-8 tortillas at one go.
Thank you, Rise and Puff for this amazing product!
