Guam flour tortillas freeze well! December 12, 2016

My recipe for Guam flour tortillas, or titiyas arina, freezes, thaws, and reheats very well! As for other Chamorro titiyas recipes, you'll have to freeze a few and see how they turn out after being frozen. I've been a mad woman in the kitchen these past few months. I realized that to keep up with the kids and still be sane and healthy, I had to cook in humungous batches. Anything that freezes, thaws, and reheats well -- well, I'm doing it.

The flour titiyas recipe in my cookbook, A Taste of Guam, is soft and fluffy. My son loves it with butter and jelly on top with fried Spam on the side. My daughter, on the other hand, prefers a little bit of butter -- then topped with fried Spam. 

I cool the titiyas in a covered dish to keep it soft. Once they are completely cooled, I separate each disc with wax paper, and wrap with a sheet of wax paper, a napkin, and two layers of plastic wrap -- then in two Ziploc freezer bags -- wrapping overkill probably! The napkin will absorb condensation when the titiyas thaw.
