Steak Tacos

Steak tacos, when properly stored, can last up to 2 days in the refrigerator, depending on the freshness of the ingredients used. If placed in the freezer immediately after preparation, the tacos can last up to 3 months.

If the tacos exhibit a sour or unpleasant smell, that is a good indication that they have gone bad. Additionally, if the steak looks gray or the vegetables are discolored or slimy, that means it's time to discard the tacos. Also be on the lookout for mold - in any color.

• Steak tacos should be refrigerated within two hours of preparation. The sooner, the better to maintain freshness. • For storage, place the tacos in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in aluminum foil to prevent drying out in the refrigerator. • Freezing is also an option to extend its shelf life. Just keep the ingredients (steak, vegetables, and tortillas) separately in airtight containers or freezer bags before combining them. • To defrost frozen tacos, move them to the refrigerator for a day before planning to eat them so they defrost thoroughly but at a safe temperature. • Always remember to heat the tacos thoroughly before eating to kill any potential bacteria and improve the taste. Prefer using oven or stovetop than microwave, which tends to make them soggy.
