Mission Gluten Free / Wheat Free Soft Tacos

I am on cloud 9.  I had heard that Mission was making a gluten-free and Wheat Free tortilla, but I was afraid that it was just going to be a soft corn tortilla. I found a package of Mission gluten-free soft tortillas at my local supermarket and tried them tonight.  I am soooo happy.  They don't rise as much as the "home made - restaurant made flour tortillas that I absolutely love, but these guys are a very acceptable second.  I made a cheese quesadilla using these tortillas with melted butter in the pan with some good shredded cheese and some slice avacodos on top and finally felt like I was "there".  They have a rice flour base, with lots of other stuff, and they are really good. So... I have found my pasta solution and my flour tortilla solution and now I just have to work on my bread!

Can I ask what state or part of the country you live in? Originally, they were only released in a limited area - Oregon? West coast?

They are not around DFW area of Texas yet.  I heard they were on the west coast.  But every time I pass the tortilla section I look, hope they come out nationally! :)

I found them at a Stater Bros. (large market chain in Southern California).  One of the managers told me that they had just received their first shipment.  I would ask at any markets that handle Mission products and see if they will order for you.

And if you read further :" No, our corn production lines are dedicated to corn products only. Wheat flour tortillas are produced on dedicated lines."

And

"All Mission® plants have strict food safety programs in place, including a very comprehensive Allergen Control Program."

Many many of us eat Mission chips and tortillas without ill effect. Just because something is made in the same manufacturing plant or complex does not mean other foods will contain it. The whole world is a " shared facility". Most restauruants and grocery stores are " shared facilities". Many of us live in homes with some gluten eating - " shared facility". Shared equipment would be a greater concern.

Here is the ingredients list from the Mission website:

I'm sure it must have some corn starch in it (not sure about the first item in the list.) but I have eaten several of these tortillas without a problem.

 

According to the webpage, these are only available on the west coast right now.

Sorry to hijack your thread. I realize you are not talking about the regular corn tortillas and chips but, I think that was what the other poster was referring to.

I think you are right, but thought it was worth adding information since the orignal thread was about the soft wheat free Mission Tortillas.  Kareng, I really do appreciate your help and advice on this forum.  I don't know how you stay on top of all of this stuff.

I don't know how I do either..... Especially since I can't make a good quesadilla here in Kansas! Mail me some? Lol

The best bread I've come across is canyon bake house 7grain it's so good but can get mushy if mayo and tomato touch the bread lettuce and meat barrier work good

Sorry this is in reference to the canyon bakehouse bread 7grain.. you also have to keep it refrigerated and it last a long time.

I totally agree.  Not quite a wheat flour tortilla, but darned close.  I've made cheese filled quesadillas with these and the tortillas seem to bubble up and brown just like their wheat predessors.  I mostly use flour tortillas for a few kinds ot tacos and for quesadillas, so I'm pretty happy.  I wish we could get Mission to hurry up and get these out the the rest of the country.  BTW, if folks are up tight about added ingredients these are probably not for you.  They have lots of additives, but I'll happily eat them for the few times a month that I need my quesadilla fix.

Thank you for doing your due diligence and sharing it with "us."  I certainly aim to try them in the near future.

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent. People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7. People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9. There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease. Are you still having symptoms? What do...

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
