Notes

  • Fried tortilla is best eaten on the day it is made. But you can store them for later at room temperature in an airtight container. To reheat, bake them in the oven on a baking sheet until hot, or pop them into an air fryer or toaster oven! Don't warm them up in the microwave, as they will come out soggy!
