Caramelo Tortillas will be back in the Fall!

Caramelo tortillas are the only ones Chris Kimball eats at home—and once you try them, you’ll see why. Paper-thin yet resilient, chewy yet tender and flavorful, these are Sonora-style flour tortillas at their best. Famous in Northern Mexico, Sonoran tortillas use just four ingredients—flour, water, fat and salt—and are leavened only by steam from the dough’s water content. Skipping chemical leavening agents makes the tortillas chewy and stretchy rather than puffy and airy, which allows them to accommodate lots of filling without ripping or leaking. Caramelo designed their entire manufacturing process around that texture; their custom equipment and tight temperature control are calibrated to produce gauzy, almost translucently thin tortillas, every time. Plus, the minimal ingredients list lets the flavor of the fat shine through—these tortillas aren’t a mere vehicle for toppings, they’re the star of the show. Their Pork Fat tortillas use fat from humanely-raised pigs, which lends a deep savoriness and slight sweetness; the Avocado Oil tortillas are rich, buttery and fully vegan.

We’re offering three curated bundles—available in single or mixed flavors—with both 6- and 10-inch tortillas that are ideal for tacos or burritos and quesadillas, respectively. Each package comes with 84 tortillas total. Caramelo tortillas are hard to find as they sell out at specialty stores across the States quite fast, and lead times on orders placed directly through Caramelo’s website start at four weeks. Milk Street has secured an exclusive partnership with Caramelo that allows us to offer curated bundles of their bestselling Sonora-style tortillas with shorter ship times and in bulk.

Note: Each bundle has a total of 84 tortillas.

To reheat your tortillas, preheat a cast-iron skillet or comal over high heat until lightly smoking. Place a tortilla on the pan for a few seconds, just until it starts to sizzle and blister. Flip it over to heat the other side and you’re ready to eat. We love these tortillas for all kinds of burritos and tacos, from a humble bean and cheese burrito to our Tacos Gobernador, Beef Chili Colorado Tacos and Skirt Steak and Green Chili Tacos. You can also try them in simple dishes like our Cheese-Crisped Pinto Bean Quesadillas or heat them up and serve them with a batch of our Pork Chops in Chipotle Sauce.

Refrigerate or freeze upon receipt. These tortillas will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to three weeks or in the freezer for up to three months.

Real-Deal Sonoran Tortillas, Made in Kansas

Caramelo owner Rubén Leal grew up in Hermosillo, Sonora, where translucently thin, richly flavorful flour tortillas are a staple. After relocating to the U.S., he found that the further he got from the Mexican border, the worse the tortillas tasted. So he started making his own, by hand at first, then using his mother’s electric tortilla press. He began to sell them at farmers markets and to restaurants across Kansas City. A decade or so later, Leal oversees an operation that produces 15,000 tortillas a day for chefs and specialty grocers alike.
