Recommended storage
Keep the freshness in
Cold storage helps preserve your tortillas. Protect them from air and outside moisture to maintain their texture.
Freezer
20–25 daysRecommended storage time.When it is time to eat
Bring back the warmth and flexibility
A warm tortilla bends more easily and releases the aroma of the corn. Keep them covered until serving.
In a pan or on a comal
20–30 seconds per sideHeat a dry pan over medium-high heat. Warm each tortilla on both sides and stack them inside a clean cloth.
From the freezer
Defrost firstMove the tortillas to the refrigerator and warm them in a pan once defrosted. Separate only the ones you plan to use.
If they have lost moisture
They can still become soft again
A little moisture and controlled heat can restore a tortilla that feels slightly dry.
- 1Lightly moisten both sides with a few drops of water.
- 2Warm the tortilla in a pan for a few seconds on each side.
- 3Place it inside a clean cloth immediately and keep it covered.
Use every tortilla
There is another meal for tomorrow
If they are no longer flexible enough for tacos, you can turn them into something else.
Tortilla chips
Cut them into triangles and bake or fry them until crisp.
Chilaquiles
Use the chips with a warm salsa and finish with the toppings you have at home.
Quesadillas
Warm the tortilla with a good melting cheese, then fold it and let it turn golden.
