How To Store French Tacos?

The best way to store French tacos is to prepare all the ingredients and store them separately. We recommend that you prepare french fries, meat and cheese sauce separately and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Although they are best when eaten fresh, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Once cooked, French tacos should be consumed immediately. Baked tortilla bread can get wet over time due to the ingredients in it.
