Can You Freeze homemade  Tortillas ?

Yes, you can freeze tortillas! Freezing tortillas is an excellent way to preserve them and have them on hand when you need them. To freeze, stack them with a layer of parchment paper between each tortilla so that they do not stick to one another. Place in an airtight freezer bag or container to protect from freezer burn. When you need to use them, simply set them out at room temperature to thaw, or reheat them from the freezer in a skillet. Freezing really works amazingly well for tortillas because, with freezing, they tend to retain their softness and flavor.
