Super Size White Corn Tortillas!


JennyC

Recommended Posts

JennyC Enthusiast

I just saw Mission Super Size White Corn Tortillas in an ad and went to the Mission website. They appear to be gluten-free.

Here is the ingredient list that I copied from the website:

GROUND CORN TREATED WITH LIME, WATER, CELLULOSE GUM, PROPIONIC ACID (TO PRESERVE FRESHNESS), PHOSPHORIC ACID (PRESERVATIVE), BENZOIC ACID (TO PRESERVE FRESHNESS), DEXTROSE, GUAR GUM, AMYLASE.

I hope this means that we can have large burritos and enchiladas again without using delicate rice tortillas! :D Has anyone tried these yet?

That would be awesome!! I have a quesadilla (sp) maker and the little ones make all the good stuff inside ooze out. Not to mention having big enchiladas!!! I hope they hit the stores soon.

Food for Life makes burrito size Brown Rice Tortillas. I make burritos all the time with them.

They sell them at Whole Foods.

Broncobux - how do you make the Food for Life tortillas soft? I use them all the time but no matter what I do (microwave, heat on stove, just defrost on counter) they are always too chewy to be considered a burrito <_<

They were advertised in yesterday's Safeway ad.

I put each one in the microwave for a short time before I fill it. Then I bake all six of them. Yummy.

Darn I am disappointed. I went to the store looking for these, thinking I was going to get some thing bigger then what we have been using. But these are ones we have been using for some time now. I was all excited thinking I was going to get some thing like a burrito size. They are only a little bigger then a regular corn tortilla. But they are good eating.

I know...I was disappointed too. They have the same texture as regular corn tortillas but they taste a little better.

I toast my rice wraps for 1 minute, then put in the stuff, wrap, and put back in toaster for a couple more minutes. Works fine! I find that some batches are softer than others also!

I just ordered some Ivory Teff Wraps made by La Tortilla Factory. I made a wrap with it and they were quite good. They are a larger size and very pliable. Of course, I had to stick the rest in the freezer so who knows how good they will be next time but so far they are a great substitue for flour tortillas.

We buy a brand from shop rite. I'm not sure of the name of it, but it is Mexican. I has red and white and green on the package. Corn tortillas - they are the smaller size, but good.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
