IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mission® launches its first line of Artisan Style Tortillas, the company’s newest soft tortilla made with a combination of wholesome grains. Available in four varieties including Corn & Whole Wheat Blend, Ancient Grains, Multigrain and Flaxseed and Blue Corn Blend, Mission Artisan Style Tortillas were crafted for consumers looking to make flavorful and nutritious meals with ease.

“The unique blend of grains offers a taste and texture profile that just doesn’t exist in any other tortilla on the market.”
