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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
