IRVING, Texas--()--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.

“Mission Artisan Style Tortillas are highly versatile and the perfect household staple that can be dressed up or down and enjoyed at just about any point during the day,” said Lulu Powers, celebrity chef and best-selling cookbook author. “I use these delicious little tortillas to make all sorts of treats from morning breakfast wraps to elegant hors d’oeuvres for a holiday party.”

A good source of fiber, with up to 33 grams of whole grains per serving, each variety of Mission Artisan Style Tortillas is made from a unique blend of select grains. One tortilla has 100 calories or fewer, providing all the taste without the worry.

“The foodie was top of mind in our approach to create a top-shelf tortilla like no other,” said Pete Thornfield, Director of Marketing with Mission Foods. “The unique blend of grains offers a taste and texture profile that just doesn’t exist in any other tortilla on the market.”

Mission Artisan Style Tortillas come in packs of eight and are widely available at grocery retailers. For more information on Mission Foods, visit www.missionmenus.com.
