Enjoy your delicious steak tacos for longer by storing them correctly. Proper refrigeration is key to maintaining the freshness and safety of this popular Mexican-inspired dish, ensuring every bite is as flavorful as the first.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2 months in the freezer for best quality.

Temperature

Store refrigerated steak tacos at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

To freeze steak tacos, it's best to separate the components. Freeze the cooked steak and any uncooked tortillas separately in airtight containers or freezer bags. For assembled tacos, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil or place them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating gently in a skillet or oven. Freezing may slightly affect the texture of the tortillas and toppings.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off smell emanating from the steak or tortillas.
• Slimy or sticky texture on the steak or any vegetable toppings.
• Visible mold growth on any component of the taco.
