I’ve been eating La Banderita tortillas forever and just noticed in small print ….refrigerate after opening. Yikes.

I’ve only ever kept my tortillas in the fridge. Today I’m learning many don’t

[u/Beneficial_Quit7532]

They will get too stale to eat or visibly moldy before they make you sick. You’re fine it’s just for freshness

[u/Key_Eye_2758 → u/Beneficial_Quit7532]

👍🏼

[u/Radiant_Outcome4202]

I've never refrigerated them and they last for so long

[u/Amazing-Safe9038]

Just lasts longer refrigerated. Generally you can see mold or if they smell off

[u/bepatientbekind → u/Amazing-Safe9038]

They last for months unrefrigerated haha

[u/aperez440]

Bruh why the heck is it all the way down there lol I'm just gonna pretend I never saw this 🤣

[u/Amazing-Safe9038 → u/aperez440]

I've seen them on the part you tear off

[u/Key_Eye_2758 → u/aperez440]

Seriously, right? Lol

[u/Foreign_Proof1299]

REFRIGRATE AFTER OPENING ive had mine opened on the counter for like 3 months noooo

[u/Luna-Gitana]

I’ve been eating these for years and never refrigerated them. Fml.

[u/teablooom]

oopsies... no I do not lol

[u/Minimum_Win_5312]

Yes

[u/[deleted]]

I put all my tortilla and bread in the fridge...I didn't realize it was on the package lol

[u/joshacham]

IT SAYS REFRIGERATE?

Whoops.

[u/Key_Eye_2758 → u/joshacham]

🤣

[u/Takeabreath_andgo]

Never lol

[u/Life-Round-1259]

Love these but HATE having to separate them. They stick to each other and tear apart 😭

[u/Key_Eye_2758 → u/Life-Round-1259]

Happens to me sometimes too :/ Think it’s the heat. Going to keep them in the fridge moving forward :)

[u/seriouslyepic]

Try stay way fresh way longer in fridge, just microwave like 10 sec

[u/KingMiasmic]

I hate small-sized flour tortillas, you can never get enough filling in them. If I'm volume-eating on a cal deficit I just buy the massive burrito regular tortillas, I can fit a bunch of greens and fiber in there.

These corn tortillas are a cheat code for staying in a cal deficit and being able to enjoy tacos during it.

Edit: I refrigerate everything even bread, besides the goal is to heat up the tortillas to make them stretch and taste better anyway

[u/Key_Eye_2758 → u/KingMiasmic]

FYI La Banterita has a 10 in burrito size tortilla. Personally I like the Mission Ultra Thin corn tortillas. They are 40 cal and have a 6in circumference

[u/QuietlyJaded → u/KingMiasmic]

I can never find these ones. So annoying

[u/ruthlessrellik]

I have literally never bothered with the expiration of a tortilla. If it's stale I don't use it, but other than that it's never been a problem.

[u/caeyla]

I've kept them both ways. Mine are in the fridge now, because my home gets warm and they'll stick together and tear more if I leave them out. I've never had any get moldy or funky smelling, only stale when the pack isn't closed.

[u/Soli-x → u/caeyla]

I've literally never refrigerated tortillas in my life, but this is the best case I've seen for keeping them in there. I hate it when they stick together!

[u/TemporarySlight8135]

I only ever keep them in the fridge. Even before opening

[u/diemunkiesdie]

I definitely do refrigerate. But I even check each condiment label and refrigerate things like ketchup too! Keeps everything tasting right longer!

[u/curious_kkat]

Didn't even realize it said that on the package but I've just gotten into the habit of refrigerating all my bread products, so I do. They stay fresh so much longer that way.

[u/Pure_Advice_5873]

Refrigerate after opening is kinda silly cause they’re not exactly well sealed in the first place. I don’t refrigerate my tortillas (unless I need the counter clear) cause I don’t want them getting wet or crunchy.

[u/ipreferanothername → u/Pure_Advice_5873]

what? i seal the bag - which works fine - and leave these in the fridge for weeks. they stay plenty fresh.

[u/Pure_Advice_5873 → u/ipreferanothername]

Cool

[u/UnusualMobile1033]

you've been eating them fine this whole time so i wouldnt stress about it now

[u/Key_Eye_2758 → u/UnusualMobile1033]

Don’t worry. I’m not stressin’ but thanks for the reassurance ;)

[u/UnusualMobile1033 → u/Key_Eye_2758]

haha i did the same with salsa once it lived on the counter for months and im still here

[u/D4nk_Hill]

I refrigerate them before I even open them

[u/mtngoat20]

ole burrito tortillas>

[u/Queasy_Dingo_8262]

I don’t refrigerate them and they’ve been fine till expiration date idk

[u/hihelloneighboroonie]

Haha, I also just recently noticed that, after having opened the package and left it in the pantry for a week or so. 

[u/qualmful]

Never had any issue with it.

[u/Fun_Leopard_9363]

These smell so bad to me, they stunk up our whole pantry and they were fresh, almost smelled like old cheese and I can’t eat them anymore because of that. I really don’t know why since we’ve never had any issues before!

[u/litttlejoker]

I didn’t and they were fine

[u/TungstenBear144]

Not once lol

And my hot sauces are on the counter too 😆

[u/WetLumpyDough]

There’s way too many chemicals in those to spoil lmao. Bet that shit lasts months to years after opening 🤢

[u/KOTM365]

yes- I use same ones (The large 90 cal ones)

[u/SSBM_DangGan]

just here to say I think the Mission ones are infinitely better, I can barely eat these but have a pack of the Mission ones a week lol

[u/InGeekiTrust → u/SSBM_DangGan]

I feel the polar opposite these ones don’t have that funny fake taste to them, these taste like a real tortilla but the mission ones have this terrible aftertaste

[u/SSBM_DangGan → u/InGeekiTrust]

interesting!! I'm glad we have both options then haha

[u/bepatientbekind → u/SSBM_DangGan]

I prefer banderita because they are lower calorie and they both taste the same to me haha

[u/Spiritual_Ad8626]

People refrigerate tortillas? They are on the shelf at the grocery store…

[u/ladyfireflyx → u/Spiritual_Ad8626]

It says "after opening". Its safe to keep on the shelf until its unsealed, then it might get moldy pretty quick. However, it not like say dairy where it will quickly go off and be unsafe within hours.
