Why do store bought tortillas keep A LOT longer at room temperature than store bought sliced bread?

When it comes to taste, texture, and mold, tortillas last a whole lot longer than your standard sliced bread. I have noticed that this is true for both corn or flour tortillas. Why is that?

Aside from the other correct answers, a big factor is air. If you take your bread bag and suck all the air out, bread can last months. Tortillas are flat so just closing the bag has much less air than with bread.
