Corn Tortillas

I know Mission makes great corn tortillas, and I trust them too as I have never got sick and they supposidly have separate manufactoring and all..

But I can only find corn torillas here that are a max of 6 inches or so. Does anyone, Mission maybe, sell big tortilla shells made gluten free? I know there have to be some. Because when I used to live in San Francisco, one of my favorite burrito shops, the largest burrito was a corn tortilla, I think that was a 16 inch shell! hehe

I've found bigger ones in regular shopping stores. I think Mission sells larger ones. When you use them, heat them with a pat of butter on each side. THey soften up to a flour burrito consistency. Much better.

What? No yummy corn crunch?! I'd never do that to a tortilla. To each his/her own I guess.

grantschoep,

I live in Colorado as well and I have yet to find a large size corn tortilla. I would be interested to find one myself. I miss burritos.

When "burrito" was mentioned, I believed the original poster was talking about 'wraps'. My corn tortilla wraps don't crunch even when I don't heat them with a pat of butter on each side. Without the butter, the corn wraps are crumbly and tear easily when stuffed with ingredients. I find that the butter softens the burrito to a nice consistency. The wrap tears less easily, it is softer, less grainy and more like a flour wrap.

As we all know, even "corn" tortillas can have gluten flour added for some reason.

WARNING. Jack in the Box taco has gluten - caught me by surprise...

Old El Paso has small and large corn tortillas that are gluten free.

They're not corn tortillas and I haven't tried them yet, but I noticed today at my local health food store with the rest of the frozen breads, there were brown rice tortillas that were the larger size from Enjoy Life Foods.

I bought those for sandwiches until I discovered Breads From Anna. They're okay, but not great: the flavor is fine, but the texture is really chewy, and you can't roll them at all without breaking them. Slightly better if you heat them in the microwave for a few seconds, but still not great.

Ah, ok. I just like tortilla chips, and I get organic ones locally :) Nice and crunchy!

Anytime I've had taco shells, they did always crack apart on the first bite. A few seconds in the microwave before serving might do the trick - not sure.

I think wer'e talking soft corn tortillas here. There is the hard crunchy kind as well.

Most authentic Mexican food uses the soft corn variety.

I used to live in the Bay area also, and get these great tacos from a local Mexican mom & pop type place.

They were just 2 soft warm corn tortillas together with just meat and salsa. Unbelievably great!

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
