Tortillas: storage conditions depend on the product

Useful to know

Not all tortillas are stored in the same way. Iowa State recommends that a product sold from a refrigerated showcase should remain refrigerated and at home. For the rest, follow the conditions and date on the packaging; after opening, check the individual instructions. [1]

When choosing whole wheat tortillas, see if whole wheat flour is a first ingredient. The name of the dish you are going to make does not automatically determine the composition of the base.

Before filling, estimate the size and quantity. If you add too much stuffing, the problem is the ratio, not necessarily the quality of the tortilla. For a package with more units, plan second-hand instead of relying on the open package to have the same mode as the unopened one. Salad, cheese or other stuffing are selected according to the specific recipe and their own storage conditions.
