How to freeze tortillas:
To freeze store bought tortillas, place the tortillas in the freezer in their original packaging.
If you are going to have them in the freezer for longer than 6 months, we recommend remove the stacks of tortillas from the original package and place them in a freezer bag.
Then get as much of the excess air as possible out of the freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
If you want to use individual tortillas at a time, we recommend layering parchment paper between each tortilla before placing them in the freezer bag so that they can be easily removed.
Defrost frozen tortillas on your counter at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
