"flour" Tortillas

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.... Open Original Shared Link They actually have a huge selection of all things gluten-free, but I like that she has put together many mixes including the Bette Hagman flour mix. I haven't been dissapointed yet by anything that I've tried from there.

I made these hust once so far, but it was easy and my son liked them!

Gluten-free Flour Tortillas

Mix together the following:

3 Cups of Rice Flour

1 Cups of Potato Starch Flour

1/2 Cup Tapioca Flour

or use already made gluten-free Flour mixes

2 Cups gluten-free Flour mix

1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons instant milk powder or non-dairy substitute

1 Cup warm water

combine the flour, xanthan gum, sugar, salt and milk powder.

in bowl of electric mixer, and whisk together.

Add water and beat on medium speed for about 1 minute

Remove dough from mixer and form ball. Divide the ball into 6 or 8 parts.

On a corn starch dusted plastic wrap, roll out each piece very thin until it forms a 10" to 12" round.

Roll all the pieces, separate them with plastic wrap, and remove before cooking

Heat griddle to medium-hot or hot and cook each tortilla about 1 minute on each side.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      I think you may be correct. The way the results are printed makes it appear as though it’s the ttg iga but I think you’re right—the 646 is total iga. So this would be indicative of another issue (another autoimmune condition, infection, cancer, etc.) and my doctor would need to do further testing. Thank you for saying this!

      Are you sure that is the TTG IgA? Based on the units (mg/dL) and having an upper limit to the normal range, it looks like a total IgA result.

      Vegetarians and vegans with celiac disease

      I am wondering if there are any vegetarians or vegans on this forum. I’ve been vegan for 15+ years and am just finding out I likely have celiac disease (blood panel done, need biopsy). My favorite foods—outside of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds—I will likely have to give up. Anyone else?

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      Fiber Supplement

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.
