How to store Tortillas with Shrimp Ceviche
You can store the marinated ceviche in the refrigerator, tightly closed in an airtight container, for a maximum of 12 hours; although the fish is cooked in lemon it is always better to consume it immediately, to prevent the ingredients from absorbing too much liquid. We suggest you prepare your ceviche in advance (even 3 hours before) but only fill the tortillas when serving.
