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?

Bread was made with yeast, tortillas aren’t. In addition, the typical slice of bread is more aerated and may even have a higher moisture content than the typical tortilla.
