la tortilla factory makes a gluten free wrap/tortilla. I got a pack from Meijer this past week and they are pretty good. Did not fall apart. Good stuff.

I always have these in my fridge. I heat them slowly and it keeps them from breaking. I make turkey wraps, burritos, quesadillas, and just a quick snack. As a Celiac sufferer, there is always a trade off when it comes to the foods you can eat. Considering the alternatives, these work fine for me.

These are my favorite tortillas but impossible to roll them even after microwaving, they split. My use for them is to use them as pizza crust. My kids who are not GF LOVE these pizzas, even more than “real” pizza and they can make them by themselves!
I also use them like bread, just cut one in half, fill with egg salad or whatever and slap the other half on top. Slice in half or smaller slices and done. They do make the best Quesadillas. I love the chewiness of them.

I buy the Food For Life tortillas and the directions recommend you wrap the tortilla in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds. I have done this and they always turn out fine for wrapping. I kind of like them chewy… it’s better than crumbly, anyway.

A new recipe I found for turning the brown rice tortillas into pita-style chips:

Oven at 350F. Coat both side of the tortilla with butter (I used Smart Balance vegan spread), then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on one side. Using a pizza cutter, cut the tortillas into chip-sized triangles. Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the chips feel crisp (if they’re still soft, they’ll be too chewy). Let them sit until cooled, then eat. Yum

Hi Bette! I believe the chips you are looking are Trader Joe’s “Tortilla Chips with Identity Crisis”. I’ve had them and they are fantastic! Unfortunately, it looks like there are not any Trader Joe’s in Nebraska at this time I’d recommend sending feedback to TJ’s requesting a store in NE. You could also beg your sis to buy a bunch of these chips & (carefully) ship them to you.

I tried this and was terribly disappointed; not only do they break easily like you describe, but they went moldy so quickly I only got to eat 2 of them! If you pop them in the microwave for a few seconds the breakage is less severe, but still very hard to wrap them around anything.

I have a celiac problem and when I was in St. Louis my sister had some chips that were called Tortilla Chips with an identify crisis and I fell inlove with them. I live in Omaha, Ne. and they don’t have a store here. How can I order these chips from you. Please reply. Thanks.

Those look like Food for Life’s gigantic rice tortillas! They make awesome quesadillas, because cooking them changes the texture, but the only way I’ve found to do a sandwich wrap is to microwave the tortilla for 20 seconds. As it warms, it WILL fold, and it becomes less chewy, but I still broke a piece off one of my teeth the last time I ate one, so now I just use a recipe for wrap bread when I want sandwiches.

Does it say if they’re made in a dedicated facility?
