My experience is that tortillas freeze well... I've been known to buy the same industrial size bags and freeze them, and then pull them out a bit at a time. I usually try to buy the ones which are conveniently packaged into smaller inside packages where I can, and if not, I'll separate them so I can pull out a modest stack to have some thawed out.
I've also been known to keep the not-frozen-ones in the fridge, which seems to prolong freshness as long as you're planning on heating them up (and why wouldn't you)? The trick is that refrigerating pretty much any flour product (such as bread) results in some sort of chemical change which is reversed by heating above room temperature. I don't find that doing either of the above makes enough difference to matter with your garden-variety store-bought tortillas. On the other hand, in a previous life, I worked a contract in the SF bay area for 6 months and so I also know that eating your typical store-bought tortilla just isn't the same as eating one which came out of the tortilla factory within the last couple days. Especially corn ones. Nothing beats a freshly made corn tortilla...
