Does Anyone Have A Millet Tortilla Shell Recipe ?

[marciab]

I'm craving tortilla chips and guacamole, but I can't have any corn, dairy, eggs or soy.

Does anyone have a recipe or any ideas on how to make these ?

I've been using potato chips, but it is getting old.

Thanks ... marcia

My guacamole recipe is : avocado, parsley, tomatoes, cilantro, onions, jalapeno, lime and lemon juice, and S & P

i make corn ones with 2 parts cornflour to 1 part water; perhaps it would work the same.

They make a rice tortillia that has no corn in it at all. "Food for life" is the brand, you can do a goolge search for it to find where to get it. Hope that helps curb your cravings!

The ingredients are:

Brown rice flour, filtered water, tapioca flour, safflower oil, rice bran, vegetable gum (xanthan, cellulose), sea salt.

Yum ... Thanks ... I have guacamole ingredients I need to use today ...

Lorka,

Can you tell me how you cook them. What do you cook them in ? Temp ? And are those the only two ingredients ? No oil, salt ??

Laurie,

Thanks a lot. I'll look for those. I don't remember doing well with tapioca flour 9 months ago when I tested it, but there is only one way to tell for sure ...

I put about 1 c. water, 2 c. flour, a bit of salt. Mix together, let rest, then take a small ball and roll out. I pan 'fry' with a lightly oiled skillet until it turns a little brown. I'm sure a tortilla press would give better results but I dont have one. Good luck!

Thanks, I am headed to make this right now ... I'll let you know I how I did

Well, the fried millet tortillas were yummy. Thanks for your help ...

My batter did not stick together well though, so I had to leave them 1/4 inch thick. I'm thinking it needs another ingredient to help bind it.

Maybe corn binds together better than millet.

And as for the baked tortilla shell, it is now in the freezer waiting to be used in stuffing or just thrown in the trash.

I thought xanthan gum came from corn?
