Here's my dumb question of the day:

I have a couple of packages of flour tortillas. One I bought out of the dairy case, and the other I bought off the shelf.

Do they need to be refrigerated??

If they were refrigerated when you bought them I would definitely keep them refrigerated - they probably don't have the preservatives that off the shelf ones do. I always keep all tortillas refrigerated because they last longer that way. Any more, all I buy are the raw ones which definitely must be refrigerated - they are soooo much better than those thick ones you buy off the shelf....

O would suggest the one you purchased that was refrigerated should be regrigerated. The other should be fine.

And there are no stupid questions!

I'm using them as a stand in for pizza crust. They want too much for the premade ones, more than four bucks for something that's only going to last one day? versus a package of 10 for about two bucks.

How are you doing that? I have some left over from making burritos (which I am now tired of ) and had been thinking about doing the same thing. I have a stone but don't know how to get the floppy, saucy thing onto it without a peel, and I don't think it would work to put it on the stone cold and then put that in the oven. I thought about trying a cookie sheet

Read the package. The one found in the dairy case may very well have to be kept refrigerated but, sometimes things are placed there as a filler or as a convenience. Example, pudding cups which require no refrigeration are chilled just because people like cold pudding.

I don't have a pizza stone, I put it on a round pan. It isn't very floppy, but I make it right on the pan, so I don't have to move it. Maybe it IS floppy.

Then I cook it for about 10 minutes at 350 (that's like my standard temperature when I'm just coming up with something off the top of my head). Once it's done, I cut it into quarters and eat it. I have to fold the pizza together, so yeah, I guess it is floppy.

why not transfer from top a sheet of HD foil?, just slide pizza on stone and vise versa.

I would refrigerate them once you open them.

Or do your tortilla pizzas in a frypan or on a griddle like quesadillas?....
