Corn Tortillas

This may sound silly, but I am so excited about today's tortilla discovery. I've been eating yellow corn tortillas, and I like them, but the flavor is pretty strong. Today I noticed white corn tortillas at the market -- also labeled gluten-free. They are so much milder in flavor and less hearty in texture. To me they are much more versatile, since they don't overwhelm the filling so much.

I may be the last one to figure this out, but if not, try white corn tortillas!

What brand? I have been buying Aztec I think, but then I saw on here somewhere that Mission has a dedicated line so I bought them - they are even labeled gluten-free. But, I don't like them!! I was so bummed when I tasted them - I don't like the texture or the taste. Maybe I'll give these white ones a try - once you tell me the brand. :D

They are Mission and are labeled gluten-free. I was buying a different brand of yellow (also labeled gluten-free), but at my market last night I could only find Mission -- yellow or white. So, I don't know how these compare to yellow Missions, but they are alot better than the other yellow brand (Tortilla Factory, maybe?) They still are not identical to a flour tortilla, but maybe midway between a yellow corn and a flour ;)

Good luck! If you try them, I hope you like them!

I emailed El Milagro - based out of Chicago -- and here is their response:

El Milagro products Corn and Flour are run in different machinary all the time, in order to avoid cross contamination.

Our corn tortillas are gluten free.

As an FYI:

In addition to manufacturing tortillas, they also have restaurants in the Chicagoland area, Austin, TX and Chamblee, GA.

Here is their website:

Thanks! So glad to hear this!!! I have known for a while that I wheat-sensitive, but only recently discovered I have celiac. I LOVE El Milagro, both yellow and white! They are a staple, since I use them in place of bread for several things. They have the best flavor and texture when cooked properly!

...it's lunch time and I think I just talked myself into a grilled cheese sandwich! =)

I've never even thought about trying white corn tortillas! I can't stand the yellow after switching over from flour. Thank you for the idea! I'll have to give them a try.

Don't forget that this thread is five years old, and the gluten free status of any food can change in the meantime - always check your labels or with the manufacturer. :rolleyes:

Does anyone know about Vallarta supermarket brand tortillas? I didn't even think about shared equipment. I have been having some issues that might be from being glutened and I have been eating them lately. If no one knows I will try to give them a call to see if I can find the answer.

Even before I was gluten free I have always preferred the yellow ones. It's interesting how everyone has such different tastes. My grocery store always has about 5 times the amount of white ones on the shelf and I am bummed whenever they are out of yellow and I need to get the white ones.

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      The 10g of gluten daily doesn't have to come only from bread. It can include pasta, cake, wheat-based cereal, etc. I wouldn't obsess over it. The main point is, don't skimp on gluten. Eat normal amounts of wheat products just like someone would who isn't dealing with a gluten disorder. If you really want to make sure you are getting 10g of gluten daily, go to a health food store and buy a bag of pure gluten. Weigh 10g out on a food scale and mix it in with your beverages. My wife use to buy gluten powder at the health food store and add it to the dough when she was making bread - in the days before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, that is.

      Thanks for the insights. So 4 weeks I should eat 4 slices of whole wheat bread while maintaining gluten free diet otherwise then schedule blood tests? Would eating the gluten damage my body intestine already if its bad? What do I need to look for in a whole wheat bread to find out if its 10g of gluten. I don't want to take too much. I want to be able to tolerate it as well otherwise this test will be hard.

      Your physician will likely refer you for a GI consult for the purpose of an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage to the villi caused by celiac disease. As Christiana said, keep eating generous amounts of gluten until all testing is over or you will invalidate any future testing or procedures.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      If I feel better after eliminating gluten from my diet I am curious if I get diagnosed via blood test what would that tell me differently besides avoiding gluten? Also if I had to do an Endoscopy and took biopsy how would that help me besides to tell me avoid gluten strictly? Also I read about finding a dietician but again what would they tell me differently besides avoid gluten? Thanks I am new to this and not diagnosed officially yet but trying to get a better understanding. I read so much about gluten staying in your body for weeks, years after you eat it etc. Makes me afraid to go out to eat for dinner to avoid cross contamination or travel or if I avoid gluten and all of a sudden get sick b/c gluten was in my body months earlier.

      Welcome to the forum, @xxnonamexx! First, some terminology clarification. There is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS is also referred to simply as gluten sensitivity. You will also hear the term "gluten intolerance" which is a generic term for either. But in the real world, these terms often get used indiscriminately so there is confusion. With Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder, damage is done to the villous lining of the small bowel when gluten is ingested. Celiac disease and NCGS share many of the same symptoms, especially in the GI category. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. So, it seems to me that you could have either celiac disease or NCGS and until you undergo a proper gluten challenge and get testing done you will have to live with the ambiguity.  Guidelines for the "gluten challenge" for those already having embarked on the gluten free diet but wanting to get tested have been revised in the past year or so. The current guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks in order to give valid test results. Personally, I think two weeks is too short and I would go for four weeks. About 8% of celiacs cannot tolerate gluten free oatmeal because the oat protein "avenin" is so similar to gluten. Adult celiacs who practice a consistently free gluten free diet can expect substantial healing of the SB villous lining in 1-3 years. We do hear anecdotal reports of people with healed villous linings being able to return to gluten consumption but they are just that - anecdotal. I do not endorse that approach.
