Selecting, storing & prepping corn tortilla
- Selecting
- Corn tortillas made from just corn (nixtamalized masa), water, and salt tend to have a firmer bite and more distinct corn flavor than versions with added preservatives or dough conditioners.
- Storing
- Corn tortillas keep 1 week refrigerated in their original packaging or a sealed bag, or up to 6 months frozen with parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
- Prepping
- Warming corn tortillas briefly on a dry skillet or open flame before serving makes them more pliable and less likely to crack when folded.
Storage guidance from the USDA FoodKeeper database (FSIS, Cornell University, and the Food Marketing Institute).

- More magnesium than 80% of foods · 72% of grains & starches
Density counts protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals (not fat, sodium, or sugar), each capped so a single nutrient can’t dominate, with a calorie floor so very-low-calorie foods aren’t overstated. It measures nutrition per calorie within our database — a useful guide, not a complete verdict on how “healthy” a food is.
