"flour" Tortillas

[maddycat]

I like corn tortillas just fine, but to be honest I really miss burritos. (I've tried a store bought rice tortilla (flour tortilla substitute) and it was yucky!)

Has anyone made their own "flour" tortillas with gluten-free ingreedients? I've been considering buying a tortilla press if it is possible to make them and have them turn out.

Any thoughts??

Though I haven't tried to make any, since they don't need to rise, I'd have to believe it would be easier to make than a soft, fluffy bread. Somewhere between a crepe and a pancake w/out the baking powder should work I think. A Google search turns up suggestions for chestnut or garbanzo flour. Most gluten-free recipes seem to just be using ready-made corn tortillas.

Here are some gluten-free crepe recipes that should get you in the right direction:

I use Mission brand corn tortillas for burritos and they turn out really well. I actually just made some last night. Yum!

I have not bought them yet, but Trader Joes has a gluten free tortilla on their list of gluten free products. Our closest TJ's is 45 mins away, but I'm going to chance it this week! I'm a mexican food junkie! I'm going to need tortillas'

I'll let you know how they are once I try them. I can only imagine they'll be great, I love TJ's stuff!

I bought Mrs Robens tortilla mix and just received a tortilla press for Xmas so I can actually make it. I'll let you know how they are.

Can't wait to hear how it goes- where did you buy the Mrs Robens mix?

We have a Trader Joes and I've been there recently but didn't look at thier tortillas- I'll have to check it out next time I'm there.

Thanks!

I'll probably try to make them this week sometime for dinner. You can buy Mrs Robens mixes online, and darn if I didn't forget the website..... here it is....

I haven't been dissapointed yet by anything that I've tried from there.
