Who each wrap format suits

Cooks looking for a sourdough-labelled wrap

Mission presents its Sourdough Wraps as an option for breakfast burritos. Its ingredient information lists 2.6% inactive rye sourdough, so the label identifies an ingredient rather than a particular fermentation method.

Cooks planning a loaded breakfast burrito

Match the wrap format to the amount of cooked filling. Mission XL wraps are marketed for 30 cm burritos and weigh approximately 90 g each, according to Ocado; Old El Paso’s regular flour tortillas are 41 g each, according to the manufacturer.

Households checking wheat and rye

Check the exact pack before serving. The Mission sourdough product declares wheat and rye, while the Old El Paso regular flour and corn tortillas described by the manufacturer also contain wheat.

What to check before buying

Start with the ingredient you want, then choose a wrap format that fits your filling and the number of people eating.

PriorityWhat to checkYour needs
Sourdough ingredient Read the ingredient list, not just the front label. Mission and ASDA list 2.6% inactive rye sourdough in Mission’s wheat tortilla; that does not establish how long the finished product was fermented. I want a tortilla with a stated rye-sourdough ingredient, without assuming it was made by an artisan process.
Wrap format Compare the intended format and portion size. Ocado lists Mission XL at approximately 90 g per wrap and markets it for 30 cm burritos; ASDA lists Mission Sourdough at approximately 61 g per wrap; Old El Paso lists its regular flour tortillas at 41 g each. For a substantial Full English filling, I need room to fold the wrap around it. For smaller wraps or several diners, an eight-pack of regular tortillas may suit my plans better.
Allergens Check the current ingredient and allergen statement. ASDA declares wheat and rye for Mission Sourdough; Old El Paso lists wheat in both its regular flour and corn tortillas. I need to check the exact product rather than assume that ‘sourdough’ or ‘corn’ means wheat-free.
Warming and storage Follow the wrap pack’s warming and post-opening instructions. ASDA advises using the opened Mission Sourdough pack within two days. GOV.UK food-hygiene guidance says reheated cooked food should be steaming hot throughout and reheated only once. If I am using cooked breakfast leftovers, I need to handle the filling separately from warming the tortilla and plan when to use the opened pack.

Common buying mistakes

  • Reading ‘sourdough’ as a production guarantee

    Mission’s listed 2.6% inactive rye sourdough identifies an ingredient, not an artisan method or a stated fermentation duration.

    If the production method matters to you, look for a separate, specific statement about it on the current product information.

  • Picking a wrap without planning the filling

    A heavily filled breakfast wrap and a smaller individual portion call for different formats. Ocado lists Mission XL at approximately 90 g per wrap, while Old El Paso lists its regular flour tortillas at 41 g each.

    Decide how much filling you intend to enclose before choosing between a regular tortilla and an XL format.

  • Assuming sourdough or corn means wheat-free

    Mission Sourdough Wraps declare wheat and rye. Old El Paso’s regular corn tortillas contain wheat flour and wheat gluten, according to the manufacturer.

    For a wheat-, rye- or gluten-free requirement, check the ingredient and allergen statement on the exact pack.

  • Treating the wrap and cooked leftovers alike

    ASDA advises using Mission’s opened sourdough wrap pack within two days. GOV.UK food-hygiene guidance says cooked food being reheated should be steaming hot throughout and reheated only once.

    Follow the tortilla’s storage instructions and handle any cooked breakfast filling according to the guidance for reheated food.

Questions about breakfast wraps

Does a sourdough tortilla have to be long-fermented?

Mission’s ingredient information lists 2.6% inactive rye sourdough in its wheat tortilla. That establishes the ingredient, but does not specify an artisan method or fermentation duration for the finished wrap.

Are Mission Sourdough Wraps gluten-free?

No. ASDA’s product information declares wheat and rye in Mission Sourdough Wraps. Check the current pack when an allergen or gluten-free requirement affects your choice.

Are corn tortillas always wheat-free?

No. Old El Paso lists wheat flour and wheat gluten in its regular corn tortillas, alongside corn flour. Check the exact product’s ingredients rather than relying on ‘corn’ in its name.

How do I warm Mission Sourdough Wraps?

ASDA’s instructions say to dry-fry each wrap on medium-high heat for 10–15 seconds per side. Follow the current pack’s directions, and deal with cooked breakfast fillings separately.

What if I am using leftover cooked breakfast filling?

GOV.UK food-hygiene guidance says reheated food should be steaming hot throughout and reheated only once. Those instructions concern the cooked filling; follow the tortilla pack’s own storage and warming directions for the wrap.
