Use a freezer ziploc bag.
Just get the ones that come in a sealable bag
Can’t. The sealable part has gaffer tape on it
Easiest way unless you’re planning on eating all 8.
Price went up and we decreased the count downto 6 for your convenience.
Note the French on the bag. The frogs wouldn’t know good texmex if it erected a massive fence
There is no other choice!
Make your own as needed? They’re really easy to make, and much better fresh.
Got a good recipe you can share?
Ingredients
▢ 3 cups all purpose flour ▢ 2 teaspoons baking powder ▢ 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt ▢ 5 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature (or coconut oil) ▢ 1 cup hot waterInstructions
1. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter, then pour over the hot water. Stir until a shaggy dough begins to form. 2. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter. Use your hands to knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until it forms a smooth ball. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let rest 10 minutes. 3. Cut the dough into 12-14 equal wedges, then roll each wedge into a ball (they don't need to be perfect). Use a rolling pin or a tortilla press to roll the dough out into an 8 – inch circle. 4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil, then a tortilla. Cook 30-60 seconds, until little bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook another 30 seconds, or until the bottom is slightly golden. Set on a plate and cover with a towel. Repeat with the remaining dough. 5. Serve warm (yum!) or save for later. Keep the tortillas stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.Notes Butter: I like the flavor of butter best, but coconut oil can also be used. Storage: the tortillas can be stored in a food storage bag at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
Sick thanks!
I’m planning to move to Europe within the next 5-8 years and I know absolutely that I’m going to miss authentic Mexican food.
And I’m doubtful there’s much for Caribbean food too, which is saddening because it’s so good.
It depends on where in Europe you plan on going, but there’s an abundance of good Caribbean food in the west, especially the UK. Authentic Mexican is harder to come by, but it’s improving.
Texmex requires cheese not naturally made in France.
As a defender of Tex-Mex as a legitimate fusion cuisine, can confirm that the Europeans do terrible things to Tex-Mex. You may think you’re over margaritas, chili powder, refried beans, yellow cheese, and salsa roja, but you will change your tune when confronted with odd vodka concoctions, paprika (and precious little of that), crunchy half raw white beans, mozzarella, and water-thinned ketchup.
That looks too glossy to be gaffer’s tape, and I’ve never seen gaffers tape in gray, usually always black. That looks more like duct tape.
Came here to say exactly this. Gaff tape is made out of a cotton cloth material. This is clearly plastic, so duct tape, which is very different.
I too came to comment on the tape. This would definitely leave a sticky residue if the tortillas are not consumed quickly.
Looks exactly like what I bought as gaffer and have at home.
Then you got ripped off.

No, it’s duct tape. If you bought gaffer tape that looks like the tape in the image, it was mislabeled or misadvertised, gaffer tape is made of different material and is not usually shiny, because light reflection would not be a good thing for what it is used for.
???
Every tortilla pack I’ve ever bought came in a zipper-resealable bag.
Viens au Québec, nos paquets de tortillas sont refermables!
Eh, pas les petites tortillas “traditionnelles” au maïs.
Non, mais le sac a assez de lousse pour être quand refermé hermétiquement. Pas besoin de fucking tape lol.
This is very confusing to me. Do ziplocks not exist where you live?
They do, the bags are made as cheap as possible so if you open them more than once the plastic under the zip starts stretching and then tears making a bag with a large hole.
Happens to me lots since I can’t control my hands as well as I aught to.
Gallon freezer ziplock bags. Thick, durable, reusable for a long time.
Yes, but don’t put the zip on it if it doesn’t work, it’s just plastic for the sake of plastic.
Orrrr don’t buy those ones.
I would love to find the brand that doesn’t.
Legit dude, trying to open any thin plastic packaging when your fine motor control is failing is a losing battle, you aren’t opening it or your opening it way to far with away too much oomph.
I have some large zipper bags that are specifically made to be washed and reused for that kind of stuff.
The silicone ones? I have those too, I go through tortillas fast enough I could leave them out if I wanted so no big deal just an annoying waste of plastic.
Maybe don’t buy the super cheap ones then. I’ve never experienced that problem
I think they mean on the original bag the tortillas come in.
Zip Loc my dude
The ones I buy come in bags with a zip seal so I find this puzzling.
You could also lose the plastic and put them in a glass, metal or silicone storage. I am doing this more now that plastic appears to be killing us.
Freeze them
I’m in the US and a lot of quality, locally made tortillas come in bags with a twist tie. I just fold/roll them over and put them in the cabinet. I also eat about three or four a day, they are my bread.
Freeze them
