Storing Corn or Flour Tortillas

RE: Storing Corn or Flour Tortillas By (Guest Post) I keep the corn and flour tortillas in the freezer if I'm not using them right away, otherwise the fridge. The corn will separate easily with a fork/knife between them while still frozen. I always thought they should be refrigerated, but I have noticed you can buy them off the shelf.

Before I store in fridge I separate each one and then replace in bag it came in and store in fridge.

They keep well in the freezer that way for quite a few weeks. Corn tortillas freeze just as well as flour tortillas. You just have to be sure to dab the moisture off of them if you're going to to cook them straight from the freezer in oil as taco shells or chips first. Have been freezing them since I moved away from home in 1972 and haven't had one single batch be bad. A frugal tip: Instead of throwing those freezer bags away, simply fold the empties and place in a spot in the freezer for when you purchase more tortillas. It saves time and water washing the bags and keeps the inside of the bags from growing bacteria. Actually, I do that for any non-fluid freezer items.

If they have been in there to where they look like they might get dried out or past their exp date I stick them in the freezer inside a freezer zip bag. For flour (not corn) tortillas in the freezer: I traced around plates the same size as the tortillas on cereal bag liners and cut them out and put them in between each so I can take out whatever number I need without them sticking to each other.
