Tortillas Costa Rica: Where To Buy Tortillas Online

Where To Buy Tortillas In Costa Rica

• The first question is not simply where to buy tortillas.

• It is which kind of tortilla do you need?

• Corn tortillas and flour tortillas behave differently.

A small street taco tortilla is not the same thing as a larger flour tortilla for wraps.

Organic corn tortillas may appeal to customers who specifically want certified organic products.

And specialty tortillas with chia or cheese already bring additional flavor before you add a filling.

Our current Tortillas category gives you options for all of these uses.

Corn Tortillas In Costa Rica

Corn tortillas are the main focus of our current tortilla selection.

They are useful for:

• Tacos

• Breakfast

• Rice and beans

• Grilled meat

• Chicken

• Fish

• Quesadillas

• Simple cheese tortillas

• Snacks

Corn tortillas tend to have more distinct corn flavor than flour tortillas and are generally smaller and less stretchy.

That makes them particularly good when the tortilla should support the filling rather than become a large wrap.

TortiRicas Corn Tortillas

TortiRicas gives us two different corn tortilla formats.

We carry a larger 90-count package as well as a smaller-format Street Tacos version containing 100 tortillas.

TortiRicas Corn Tortillas – 90 Count

Our TortiRicas Corn Tortillas come as three packages totaling 90 corn tortillas.

The product is made from corn flour, and the current product information states that it contains no allergenic ingredients in its composition.

A 90-count package makes sense for:

• Families

• Frequent tortilla eaters

• Parties

• Taco nights

• Restaurants

• Vacation rentals

• Meal prep

If you only make tacos once every few months, 90 tortillas may be more than you need.

If tortillas are part of everyday meals, the larger format becomes much more practical.

TortiRicas Street Taco Tortillas

Our TortiRicas Street Tacos Corn Tortillas contain 100 tortillas divided into two packs of 50.

The total package weighs 1.5kg.

They are made in Costa Rica from corn flour with added niacin, iron, thiamine, folic acid and beta-carotene, and they are designed to be heated before serving.

The smaller street-taco format is ideal when you want several small tacos rather than one oversized tortilla.

Use them for:

• Carne asada tacos

• Chicken tacos

• Fish tacos

• Pork tacos

• Black bean tacos

• Breakfast tacos

• Taco parties

• Appetizer-size tacos

For a taco bar, this is probably the most practical tortilla we carry.

What Is A Street Taco Tortilla?

Street taco tortillas are generally smaller than standard tortillas.

The idea is simple: instead of trying to fit an entire meal inside one large tortilla, you serve several smaller tacos with focused fillings.

That works especially well when you want guests to try different combinations.

For example:

• One taco with beef and salsa

• One with chicken and avocado

• One with black beans and cheese

• One with fish and cabbage

• The smaller size also helps prevent overfilling.

Costa Rican Corn Tortillas

Tortillas are a familiar part of everyday eating in Costa Rica.

They may be served alongside eggs, beans, cheese, grilled meat or other traditional foods rather than being reserved exclusively for Mexican-style tacos.

Our TortiRicas Street Taco tortillas are specifically made in Costa Rica.

That makes them a particularly straightforward option if you are looking for locally produced corn tortillas in a large package.

Organic Tortillas In Costa Rica

We also carry certified organic corn tortillas.

Current choices include:

Plain Organic Corn Tortillas

Organic Corn Tortillas with Chia Seeds

Organic Corn Tortillas with Cheese

The plain version comes as a 10-pack and is specifically identified as certified organic.

The chia and cheese varieties come as seven-packs and are also identified as certified organic products.

These smaller packages are very different from buying 90 or 100 TortiRicas tortillas.

Choose them when ingredient sourcing and specialty flavor are more important than buying the largest possible quantity.

Plain Organic Corn Tortillas

Our Certified Organic Plain Corn Tortillas come in a 10-pack.

Plain corn tortillas are the most versatile organic choice because they do not dictate the flavor of the meal.

Use them with:

• Black beans

• Cheese

• Eggs

• Avocado

• Chicken

• Beef

• Pork

• Fish

• Vegetables

• Salsa

• Hot sauce

A plain tortilla lets you change the meal completely simply by changing the filling.

Organic Corn Tortillas With Chia Seeds

Our Organic Corn Tortillas with Chia Seeds come in a seven-pack and are specifically listed as certified organic corn tortillas with chia seeds.

This option gives you a more distinctive tortilla without moving away from a corn base.

Use chia tortillas for:

• Avocado tacos

• Egg tacos

• Black bean tacos

• Grilled vegetables

• Chicken

• Fresh cheese

• Breakfast

The chia is already part of the tortilla, so you do not need to add seeds separately.

Organic Corn Tortillas With Cheese

Our Organic Corn Tortillas with Cheese also come in a seven-pack and are identified as certified organic tortillas with cheese.

These already have another flavor component built into the tortilla.

They work especially well with:

• Eggs

• Avocado

• Chicken

• Black beans

• Salsa

• Grilled vegetables

• More cheese for a quesadilla

Because the tortilla itself contains cheese, it is not appropriate for someone avoiding dairy.

Flour Tortillas In Costa Rica

Corn is not always the right tortilla.

When you want something larger, softer and more flexible, flour tortillas usually work better.

Our current option is Bimbo Flour Tortillas.

The package contains four packs of 10 tortillas, giving you 40 tortillas total.

Flour tortillas are especially useful for:

• Wraps

• Burritos

• Large quesadillas

• Breakfast burritos

• Chicken wraps

• Tuna wraps

• Bean burritos

• Grilled sandwiches

If you are trying to roll several ingredients into one enclosed tortilla, flour is generally easier to work with than a small corn tortilla.

Corn Tortillas Vs Flour Tortillas

This is probably the most common tortilla comparison.

Choose Corn Tortillas When You Want:

• More corn flavor

• Smaller tacos

• Street tacos

• A traditional taco texture

• Something to serve beside beans, eggs or grilled meat

Choose Flour Tortillas When You Want:

• A larger tortilla

• More flexibility

• Burritos

• Wraps

• Large quesadillas

• Breakfast wraps

• Corn tortillas are generally smaller and firmer.

• Flour tortillas are usually softer and stretchier.

• Neither is better for every meal.

• They solve different problems.

Tortillas For Tacos

For tacos, corn is our first choice.

The TortiRicas Street Taco Corn Tortillas are specifically designed for small tacos and come in a 100-count package.

Build tacos with:

• Grass-fed beef

• Free-range chicken

• Pork

• Fish

• Shrimp

• Black beans

• Avocado

• Cheese

• Cilantro

• Onion

• Lime

• Salsa

• Hot sauce

• The tortilla is only the base.

The easiest way to make taco night interesting is to put several toppings on the table and let everyone build their own.

Tortillas For Quesadillas

• Both corn and flour tortillas work for quesadillas.

• Flour tortillas make a larger, softer quesadilla.

• Corn tortillas make smaller quesadillas with more corn flavor.

A basic quesadilla needs almost nothing:

• Tortilla

• Cheese

• Heat

Then add whatever you want:

• Chicken

• Black beans

• Mushrooms

• Onion

• Peppers

• Jalapeños

• Avocado after cooking

• Salsa

Our organic cheese tortillas can also push this idea further by putting cheese flavor directly into the tortilla.

Tortillas For Breakfast

Tortillas are one of the easiest ways to turn leftover ingredients into breakfast.

Warm a corn tortilla and add:

• Scrambled eggs

• Black beans

• Avocado

• Cheese

• Salsa

Or use a flour tortilla to make a larger breakfast wrap with:

• Eggs

• Cheese

• Potatoes

• Avocado

• Bacon or sausage

• Hot sauce

You can also simply serve warm tortillas alongside gallo pinto and eggs.

Tortillas With Gallo Pinto

• A warm corn tortilla works naturally alongside gallo pinto.

• You do not need to turn it into a taco.

Use the tortilla to scoop up rice, beans, eggs, cheese or avocado from the plate.

For a more portable breakfast, place gallo pinto and scrambled egg inside a flour tortilla and roll it into a breakfast burrito.

Tortillas With Black Beans

Black beans are one of the easiest tortilla fillings.

Use:

• Whole black beans

• Refried beans

• Black bean soup reduced until thicker

• Beans with cheese

• Beans with avocado

• Beans with rice

We carry several canned, dry, organic and agroecological black bean options, so tortilla night can be built entirely from pantry staples and fresh toppings.

Tortillas With Avocado

• Avocado needs almost no preparation.

• Warm the tortilla.

• Add sliced or mashed avocado.

Finish with:

• Sea salt

• Lime

• Cilantro

• Salsa

• Hot sauce

• Egg

• Black beans

• Cheese

For an even quicker meal, avocado and organic chia tortillas work naturally together.

Tortillas For Fish Tacos

Small corn tortillas are especially good for fish tacos.

Use grilled or pan-cooked fish with:

• Cabbage

• Cilantro

• Lime

• Avocado

• Salsa

• Sour cream or a yogurt sauce

• Hot sauce

Corvina, tilapia and other mild fish work well because the tortilla and toppings remain noticeable.

For shrimp tacos, use the same approach.

Tortillas For Beef Tacos

For beef tacos, try the TortiRicas Street Taco format.

Fill them with grilled beef, then add only a few toppings so the taco does not become overloaded.

Try:

• Beef

• Onion

• Cilantro

• Lime

• Hot sauce

Or:

• Beef

• Avocado

• Cheese

• Salsa

Our grass-fed beef selection gives you several cuts that can be sliced thinly for tacos.

Tortillas For Chicken Tacos

Chicken is one of the most flexible taco fillings.

Season and grill or pan-cook chicken, then combine it with:

• Avocado

• Salsa

• Cilantro

• Lime

• Onion

• Cheese

• Sour cream

For a milder family meal, serve the hot sauce separately so everyone controls their own heat.

Tortillas For Vegetarian Meals

A tortilla does not need meat.

Fill it with:

• Black beans

• Red beans

• Avocado

• Cheese

• Mushrooms

• Roasted vegetables

• Eggs

• Rice

• Corn

• Salsa

For a fully plant-based taco, combine beans, avocado, vegetables, cilantro and salsa.

Tortillas For Wraps

For wraps, use flour tortillas.

They are generally better suited to rolling around a larger volume of fillings.

Try:

• Chicken + lettuce + tomato + avocado

• Tuna + cucumber + greens

• Turkey + cheese + tomato

• Hummus + vegetables

• Egg + avocado

• Black beans + rice + salsa

• Warm the tortilla briefly before rolling if it feels stiff.

• That makes it less likely to tear.

Burritos Vs Tacos

• A taco is typically smaller and open or folded.

• A burrito is larger and rolled around the filling.

That is why our corn street taco tortillas make sense for tacos while the Bimbo flour tortillas are the better choice for burritos.

If you try to put burrito quantities of rice, beans, meat, salsa and avocado into a small corn tortilla, it will usually fall apart.

Match the tortilla to the meal.

How To Heat Corn Tortillas

Corn tortillas are much better warm than straight from the refrigerator.

• One of the easiest methods is a dry skillet.

• Heat the skillet over medium heat.

• Warm each tortilla briefly on both sides.

Stack the warmed tortillas inside a clean kitchen towel so they stay soft.

You can also warm several tortillas in the microwave, but cover them so they do not dry out.

The TortiRicas Street Taco tortillas are specifically designed to be heated before eating.

How To Heat Flour Tortillas

Flour tortillas only need a short warming.

Use:

• A skillet

• Microwave

• Oven

Do not cook them until they become brittle if you intend to make wraps or burritos.

You want them warm and flexible.

For quesadillas, they can become crisp during the actual cooking process.

Why Do Corn Tortillas Break?

• Usually because they are too cold, too dry or overfilled.

• Warm them first.

• Keep them covered after heating.

• Do not fill them beyond what the tortilla can support.

If your corn tortilla cracks as soon as you fold it, a short warm-up usually makes a major difference.

Can You Fry Corn Tortillas?

Yes.

Corn tortillas can be fried or toasted to create:

• Tostadas

• Taco shells

• Tortilla strips

• Homemade chips

For tostadas, cook the tortilla until crisp and then top it with beans, meat, avocado, lettuce, salsa or cheese.

For tortilla strips, cut tortillas into narrow pieces before baking or frying and use them on soups and salads.

Homemade Tortilla Chips

• If you have extra corn tortillas, turn them into chips.

• Cut them into triangles.

• Lightly coat or brush them with oil if desired.

• Season with sea salt.

• Bake or fry until crisp.

Serve with:

• Salsa

• Guacamole

• Bean dip

• Cheese dip

This is different from our Kitty Snacks tortilla product, which is already a ready-to-eat salted corn snack made from yellow and fortified white corn flour.

Tortillas Vs Tortilla Chips

Soft tortillas and tortilla chips should not be treated as the same product.

Soft tortillas are used for:

• Tacos

• Wraps

• Quesadillas

• Breakfast

• Meal sides

Tortilla chips are crisp and ready for:

• Salsa

• Guacamole

• Dips

• Nachos

• Snacking

Our Kitty Snacks corn tortilla product belongs more naturally to the second group even though it appears in the Tortillas category. It is ready to eat, salted and produced in Costa Rica.

Are Corn Tortillas Gluten-Free?

Corn itself does not contain gluten.

However, customers who need strict gluten avoidance should check the exact package for gluten-free labeling, allergen information and possible cross-contact.

Do not assume every corn-based product is certified gluten-free solely from the ingredient name.

Our TortiRicas 90-count product page states that the product contains no allergenic ingredients in its composition, but anyone with a medical need for strict gluten avoidance should still rely on the current package labeling.

Are Flour Tortillas Gluten-Free?

Conventional flour tortillas are normally wheat-based and therefore are not appropriate for a gluten-free diet.

Our Bimbo product is sold specifically as a flour tortilla, so customers looking for gluten-free options should choose a product that is explicitly labeled for that requirement rather than using a conventional flour tortilla.

Are Tortillas Vegan?

It depends on the product.

Simple corn tortillas can have very short ingredient lists, but you should still check the package.

Specialty tortillas may include other ingredients.

Our organic cheese tortillas obviously include cheese and therefore are not vegan.

The best approach is to verify the exact tortilla rather than assuming everything made from corn is automatically plant-based.

Organic Vs Regular Corn Tortillas

Organic and conventional corn tortillas can be used for the same basic meals.

The distinction is primarily about how qualifying agricultural ingredients are produced and certified.

Choose our Certified Organic Plain Corn Tortillas if organic certification is important to you.

Choose TortiRicas if quantity and everyday convenience are more important.

• The organic plain tortillas come as 10.

• The TortiRicas options come as 90 or 100.

• That makes the intended use quite different.

Which Tortillas Should You Choose?

If you want small tortillas for tacos, choose TortiRicas Street Taco Corn Tortillas.

If you want everyday corn tortillas in bulk, choose TortiRicas 90-Count Corn Tortillas.

If you want large flexible tortillas for wraps and burritos, choose Bimbo Flour Tortillas.

If you want certified organic corn tortillas, choose Organic Plain Corn Tortillas.

If you want organic tortillas with seeds, choose Organic Corn Tortillas with Chia.

If you want a more savory specialty tortilla, choose Organic Corn Tortillas with Cheese.

How To Store Tortillas In Costa Rica

Costa Rica’s warm and humid climate makes proper storage important.

Follow the storage instructions on the package.

Once a package is opened, keep it tightly sealed so the tortillas do not dry out or absorb excess humidity.

Depending on the product, refrigeration may be appropriate after opening.

If you buy a 90- or 100-count package and will not use it quickly, freezing part of it can be very practical.

Can You Freeze Tortillas?

• Yes.

• Tortillas generally freeze well.

Separate them into useful quantities before freezing so you do not have to thaw the entire package every time.

For example, divide a 100-count package into smaller groups.

Place parchment or another separator between stacks if necessary.

• Seal them properly to prevent freezer drying.

• Thaw only what you need.

This is especially useful for households that want the value of a large package without eating tortillas every day.
