Storing - After cooking, leftover chicken tacos can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge. To reheat, simply wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1 minute.
Freezing - You can also freeze cooked rolled tacos in freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Throw into the microwave for a minute or two for a quick lunch or snack. I don't recommend freezing them uncooked.
