Storing Homemade Tortillas
Place the tortillas in a resealable plastic bag or airtight storage container. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Store the tortillas in the freezer if stocking up. Heat the tortillas up in the microwave once thawing is complete. Place them on a plate then heat for 10 to 20 seconds. Cover the plate with a clean towel to keep the tortillas soft until ready to use. -
Using a Tortilla Warmer
After cooking or reheating tortillas, place them inside of a tortilla warmer with a damp paper towel underneath. If you do not have a tortilla warmer you can wrap the warmed tortillas in a damp towel and place them in a sealed container. Using a microwave-safe or oven-safe container is helpful because you can pop the container back in to heat up after they have cooled to room temperature. -
