My store-bought packages of tortillas are sticking together. Most of them
would not separate without tearing and peeling. This brand used to be ok.
I'm careful to get them in their own bag at the checkout and not press on
them otherwise. Didn't help.

Will try another brand next pruchase but it is VERY anoying.

Anyone have and suggestions - beside making my own as I need them?

Absolutely!

If you zap them briefly as wrapped 10-15 seconds in the microwave they
should separate.

Also if you take them out of the pack, wrap in foil, but put a few drops
of water inside first, you can put them in a warm over (275F) for a few
minutes and they'll separate nicely.

But my favorite el cheapo tool is to heat in the microwave using:

They'll keep nice and warm on the table and come apart easily for eating.

The package should roll, be floppy or bend softly. This indicates
freshness. I'll go through as many packages and as many brands as
necessary until I find a nice soft package of flour tortillas.
Actually, I do the same for corn tortillas. It's no different than
looking for a softer, fresher loaf of bread. When stocking, employees
will move the older stock to the top. Don't be afraid to check out
the packages.

Try writing to the company. That's what I did. I buy the Surito and they
are made locally. First problem I had was with the seal at the bottom of
the bag. It was no good. I would pick up the bag and the tortillas would
fall to the floor. I wrote to them and they fixed the problem.

Then a few weeks ago, I bought two bags on separate occasions and all of a
sudden, the tortillas were sticking. They offered to refund my money but I
declined. I had eaten them anyway. I don't know what the problem was but
they fixed it. I suspect that they may have been being bagged while still
warm.

Julie has mentioned that happening too. Sorry. I've purchased every
brand sold at my stores and have never had a problem like that. I
have zero idea why it happened. Maybe they were packaged too hot.

That is the only brand of raw ones I can get here. The Costco packages are
cheap but I think there are something like 50 in the package. Even the
smaller packages have too many in there for me. Says to use up something
like 6-7 days after opening. I can't eat them fast enough.

That's what I think. Surito is quick to address any problems. They have
not done that since I contacted them.

I don't pay any attention to those recommendations. I leave 'em in the
fridge until they're either too stale to fold or moldy. Then I buy new
ones. That rarely happens; I generally get 10-packs of tortillas made
locally and can get through the entire pack.

Me too, but you know she always throws food out based on the best by

The ones I had were looking pretty decrepit by day 7.

It has never happened to me at all either, not with the regular type, and
not with the low carb type. I don't know why it would happen to some
packages and not others.

I don't buy or eat a lot of tortillas but what you say is true, Steve.
The packages I buy, first of all I make sure they're sort of loose and
floppy in the bag so you can tell they aren't stuck together. (First
great recommendation for KenK.)

Secondly, yes, do repackage them in zip locks (if they don't already
come in a resealable package. Third, if they seem to be a bit dried out
yes, run some water over them. Pardon the pun, but tortillas are pretty
flexible.

I drank some milk yesterday that had a date stamp three days past the
"expiration date". OMG! I gave it the sniff test then tasted it. The
milk was just fine. I'm still alive to tell about it.

The dates are purely a guideline, not a mandate. They give some guy on
an assembly line something to do. "Here, we're giving you the
date-stamp. It's important." Uh huh.

As others have mentioned, they were probably packaged while too hot.

Not necessarily. Depends on the situation and what it is. These were all
dried out. And they were beyond when it said to use by. Not sure when I
opened the package though.

You vetoed this before but I give them a squirt of spray oil. I can feel
it when I use them but I don't taste it.

I don't even oil them. I grasp the thawed package at about 9 o'clock
and 3 o'clock and flex the package a few times. They separate easily.
The key is to get a flexible package of tortillas in the first place.
(I'm talking the large package with 2 packages inside from Costco) I
always immediately put the second package in the freezer. I have an
area in my freezer that I keep for bread goods. Everything there is
double bagged.

I've never eaten a flour tortilla tho I do make tacos using hard corn shells.

I freeze packages of 80 corn tortillas, but not flour tortillas. Yes,
they freeze together, but pop off easily one by one by inserting the tip
of a chef's knife in the seam between the top two and twisting slightly.
