- Sour cream

How to Store Tacos
- How to store: If planning to make tacos ahead of time or planning to have leftovers, assemble only what you are going to eat and store the filling, any sauce, and tortillas separately. Then, only assemble the tacos you’re ready to eat them. Check the specific recipe for storage details for the filling.
- How to reheat: Reheat tortillas over the stove for 30-60 seconds per side. To heat the filling, check specific recipe for details. Typically, you can reheat on the stovetop and sometimes in the oven or air fryer, depending on the recipe.
