  • Once opened, always wrap your tortillas tightly before putting them back in the refrigerator.
  • Homemade tortillas generally won't last as long as store-bought ones.
  • Freezing is also a good method to extend the lifespan of tortillas and the fillings.
  • It is best to store your leftover tacos’ vegetables in the fridge.
