Hi Aarthi, You said we can freeze it up to a month. How do we freeze it? after cooking? and you said we can use within 2 to 3 days.. whats the difference?
Aarthi
@shwetha shenoyif you are keeping it in fridge,Put it in air tight container and use, For freezing lay the tortilla between parchment sheets and put it in a ziploc bag and freeze. You can reheat it it microwave or on tawa
