Couples making a small wrap dinner
Mission's sourdough-labelled pack contains four wraps, a quantity worth considering if you plan to serve individual wraps without opening a larger pack. Check the heating directions on the pack you buy.
Who is each wrap for?
For a date-night dinner, start with the diners' requirements, then choose the wrap size and pack quantity that fit the meal.
Shoppers interested in sourdough
Tesco Groceries lists Mission's wraps as wheat tortillas made with rye sourdough; its ingredient list specifies 2.6% inactive rye sourdough. That identifies an ingredient, not an artisan production method, and the wraps are not suitable for a gluten-free requirement.
Hosts serving someone who needs gluten-free food
Old El Paso UK lists a separate gluten-free tortilla made with tapioca starch, white corn masa flour, quinoa flour and amaranth flour. Confirm the dietary and allergen information on the current pack before serving it.
What should you check before buying?
Check dietary suitability before choosing a flavour or format. Then work out how many wraps you will serve and what will happen to any left in the opened pack.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Sourdough ingredient | Read the ingredient list rather than relying on the front-of-pack description. Tesco Groceries lists 2.6% inactive rye sourdough in Mission's four-pack of wheat wraps; that does not establish an artisan method. | I'm interested in a wrap made with rye sourdough, but I don't need it to meet a gluten-free requirement. |
| Dietary suitability | Check the current ingredient and allergen statements for every diner. Mission's sourdough wraps contain wheat and rye; Old El Paso UK lists a distinct gluten-free tortilla made with tapioca, corn, quinoa and amaranth ingredients. | If a guest needs gluten-free food, I need a tortilla explicitly labelled for that requirement, not a sourdough-labelled wheat wrap. |
| Size and serving | Compare wrap dimensions and pack quantity with your planned fillings. Marks & Spencer lists a 10-inch soft flour tortilla; Mission's sourdough pack contains four wraps. | I'm planning a generously filled wrap, so size matters more to me than a sourdough ingredient. |
| Heating and leftovers | Read the selected pack's warming and opened-pack instructions. Sainsbury's says to use Mission's sourdough wraps within two days of opening; storage directions differ between products. | For dinner for two, I want to know whether I'll use the remaining wraps within the stated storage period. |
What can go wrong with the choice?

Assuming sourdough means gluten-free or artisan-made
Mission's sourdough-labelled tortillas contain wheat and rye. Tesco Groceries identifies rye sourdough in the ingredients, but the ingredient description does not establish how the wraps were made.
If gluten avoidance is required, choose an explicitly gluten-free product and check its current pack. If the sourdough ingredient is what interests you, use the ingredient list to make that choice.
-
Choosing a pack without planning the leftovers
The examples here come in different quantities: four Mission sourdough wraps, six Mission Original wraps and eight M&S soft wraps. An opened pack may need to be used within a short period.
Count the wraps you expect to serve, then check the selected pack's storage and freezing instructions before buying more than you need for dinner.
-
Choosing by ingredient before checking wrap size
A sourdough ingredient does not tell you whether a wrap is the size you want for a generous filling. Marks & Spencer identifies its soft flour wraps as 10 inches across.
Decide how you want to serve the filling, then compare the dimensions and format stated for the wraps you are considering.
-
Relying on an older online ingredient list
Ingredients and allergen information can change. This matters when a diner has a dietary restriction, regardless of whether the wrap is described as sourdough, standard flour or gluten-free.
Read the pack in hand before preparing the meal, particularly when buying for a guest with an allergy or a gluten-free requirement.
Which brands offer relevant options?
These brand examples illustrate different ingredient and serving formats; a brand name alone does not establish the ingredients of every wrap in its range.
Mission
Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury's list Mission's four-pack as wheat tortilla wraps made with rye sourdough. Tesco Groceries also lists a separate six-pack of Mission Original wheat-flour wraps.
- The sourdough-labelled option comes in a four-wrap, 245g pack.
- It contains wheat and rye; the listed 2.6% inactive rye sourdough does not establish an artisan process.
Old El Paso
Old El Paso UK lists both gluten-free regular tortillas and standard flour tortillas. They are different ingredient choices, not interchangeable dietary options.
- Its gluten-free six-pack lists tapioca starch, white corn masa flour, quinoa flour and amaranth flour.
- Check the current package for dietary suitability if online product information differs.
M&S
Marks & Spencer lists 10-inch soft flour tortillas and a separate mini-wrap format, giving shoppers different serving-size options.
- The stated 10-inch size provides a clear dimension to compare with the filling you have planned.
- The soft flour-wrap example contains wheat; check the current pack for ingredients and storage directions.

Questions about tortilla wraps
Are Mission Sourdough Wraps gluten-free?
No. The Mission sourdough wraps listed by Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury's contain wheat and rye. If a diner needs gluten-free food, choose an explicitly labelled gluten-free tortilla and check its current ingredient and allergen statements.
Does sourdough on a wrap label mean it is artisan-made?
No artisan method follows from that description alone. Tesco Groceries lists Mission's wraps as made with rye sourdough and specifies 2.6% inactive rye sourdough in the ingredients; judge any production-method claim separately.
How should I warm Mission Sourdough Wraps?
Follow the directions on the pack you buy. Tesco Groceries' product instructions describe warming each wrap in a dry pan over medium-high heat for 10–15 seconds per side; use the current pack directions if they differ.
How soon should I use opened wraps?
Use the storage period stated on the selected pack. Sainsbury's says to use Mission's sourdough wraps within two days of opening, while Marks & Spencer's listed soft flour wraps also specify an opened-pack period of two days, with airtight storage.
Can standard flour wraps replace gluten-free wraps for a guest?
Only if the guest confirms that the standard wrap meets their dietary requirements. Mission's sourdough wraps contain wheat and rye, while Old El Paso UK lists a separate gluten-free tortilla; check the current pack rather than judging suitability by appearance or filling.
