Crystal,

They freeze well– make one trip buy a bunch of them and put them in the freezer.

I generally hate wraps–a really bad and tasteless food that has somehow become a standard. Dampened flavorless cardboard. They’re supposed to be a bread substitute–think of how good bread is and then think of your average flour tortilla. Then I discovered TJ’s brown rice tortillas. They make the best thin crust pizza. The trick is to crisp one side under the broiler or in a frying pan. If you do both sides you have a very big cracker. I try to avoid bread so this has become my bread substitute. Makes a good fold over –I agree #28. Warning they burn really quickly under the broiler–on the good side they make a very quick meal!

Awesome! Agree with Crystal that skillets are the best for these. If you’ve got less time they’re also very tasty when put into a toastie maker with cheddar inside them – quick and very yum.

I recently was introduced to these wonderful, amazing tortillas and simply love them. You can put to put anything and everything on and in them. Lightly heated in a flat cast iron skillet softens them and even if you eat them cold with spicy red pepper hummus nut butters, you name it, it works. The complaint that they break and the contents fall all over the floor is interesting and perhaps eating over the table would help, with a plate underneath, so the contents can be retrieved and enjoyed, even if might it means using a fork and eating the tortillas in a piece with those contents. I would love to find the recipe and method for making these myself, since my only Trader Joe’s is over 45 miles from my residence. Anyone, out there knows how, please add the information. Thanks

Hi Patti, I had to laugh when I read about the horrible aftertaste because the same thing happened to me. Feeling so desperate for some type of bread, namely a tortilla, I decided to give them another try thinking I could find a way to do something to them even though the taste was disgusting. I am glad I did because the second batch was fine for me and did not have that aftertaste. I think I had a had batch the first time as these tortilla’s don’t seem to have any kind of shelf life other than a few days. I keep out a few at a time and then freeze the rest. Anyway, good luck. I used food for life but have not tried Trader Joe’s. Kim

Love these tortillas. Store them in the refrigerator to prevent them from molding quickly. When ready to use wet tortilla and cook in frying pan sprayed with olive oil this will keep them from cracking.

Sad to say there is no Trader Joes anywhere near me and that’s a shame.
I have had the pleasure of eating there when I travel and I agree with “mim”. They did used to be better but are still worth the effort to search one out.

I love Trader Joes and can’t imagine life without it.
But like someone commented above, I find a lot of their fresh products tend to start molding within a few days. I guess I could eat the stuff faster, but I am trying to LOSE weight, not GAIN weigh.
Any suggestions on making their stuff last a little longer?

Trader Joe’s is cheating on these “brown rice” tortillas…
they used to be much better…but now are full of the much cheaper and non-nutritious tapioca flour.

My guess is at least 40-50% tapioca…or more.

These are so absolutely awesome. Best when heated in the oven a bit!
So wish there was a Trader Joe’s closer to where I live in Bethlehem, Pa.

I just finished a wrap made with the trader joes rice tortilla… And it split right down the side and dumped a bunch of my yummy contents all over the floor. I was not pleased. I will try the quesadilla style next time. This is my second time buying them, the first time I didn’t eat any- because they were covered in mold two days after I brought them home! @pattie: I think you may have gotten a bad batch because I didn’t notice an aftertaste like that at all.
