"flour" Tortillas

I like corn tortillas just fine, but to be honest I really miss burritos. (I've tried a store bought rice tortilla (flour tortilla substitute) and it was yucky!)

Has anyone made their own "flour" tortillas with gluten-free ingreedients? I've been considering buying a tortilla press if it is possible to make them and have them turn out.

Any thoughts??

Though I haven't tried to make any, since they don't need to rise, I'd have to believe it would be easier to make than a soft, fluffy bread. Somewhere between a crepe and a pancake w/out the baking powder should work I think. A Google search turns up suggestions for chestnut or garbanzo flour. Most gluten-free recipes seem to just be using ready-made corn tortillas.

Here are some gluten-free crepe recipes that should get you in the right direction:

I use Mission brand corn tortillas for burritos and they turn out really well. I actually just made some last night. Yum!

I have not bought them yet, but Trader Joes has a gluten free tortilla on their list of gluten free products. Our closest TJ's is 45 mins away, but I'm going to chance it this week! I'm a mexican food junkie! I'm going to need tortillas'

I'll let you know how they are once I try them. I can only imagine they'll be great, I love TJ's stuff!

I bought Mrs Robens tortilla mix and just received a tortilla press for Xmas so I can actually make it. I'll let you know how they are.

Can't wait to hear how it goes- where did you buy the Mrs Robens mix?

We have a Trader Joes and I've been there recently but didn't look at thier tortillas- I'll have to check it out next time I'm there.

Thanks!

I'll probably try to make them this week sometime for dinner. You can buy Mrs Robens mixes online, and darn if I didn't forget the website..... here it is.... Open Original Shared Link They actually have a huge selection of all things gluten-free, but I like that she has put together many mixes including the Bette Hagman flour mix. I haven't been dissapointed yet by anything that I've tried from there.

I made these hust once so far, but it was easy and my son liked them!

Gluten-free Flour Tortillas

Mix together the following:

3 Cups of Rice Flour

1 Cups of Potato Starch Flour

1/2 Cup Tapioca Flour

or use already made gluten-free Flour mixes

2 Cups gluten-free Flour mix

1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons instant milk powder or non-dairy substitute

1 Cup warm water

combine the flour, xanthan gum, sugar, salt and milk powder.

in bowl of electric mixer, and whisk together.

Add water and beat on medium speed for about 1 minute

Remove dough from mixer and form ball. Divide the ball into 6 or 8 parts.

On a corn starch dusted plastic wrap, roll out each piece very thin until it forms a 10" to 12" round.

Roll all the pieces, separate them with plastic wrap, and remove before cooking

Heat griddle to medium-hot or hot and cook each tortilla about 1 minute on each side.

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.
