If you are planning to use it later, allow them to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic and store in the refrigerator. Reheat in an ungreased skillet, or for a few seconds in the microwave. This will also freeze well. If you are not planning to use it immediately cook only lightly means bubbles on both sides with little brown dots. cool well and freeze it. When you ready to serve thaw and reheat it in a skillet. If you want freeze the dough, freeze uncooked flour tortilla dough. Before freezing the dough, shape them into golf ball-sized round balls. Put the balls in a lined baking sheet, then cover and let them freeze until hard. Once the tortilla dough becomes hard, wrap each in a cling film and store them in a freezer bag. You can then be removing a certain amount, thaw it in the fridge and cook.
