Since many of my readers, and myself, have been on the search for good gluten free tortillas, I approached Rudi’s Gluten Free Bakery for some samples for a review and giveaway. As many of you know I recently created a wonderful soft gluten free tortilla recipe, but to get it soft you must use Expandex, and I’d really prefer not to use any modified ingredients. With that in mind, Rudi’s was one of my first choices because they use natural ingredients.
Let me first introduce you to Rudi’s gluten free tortillas:
Plain Tortillas
Ingredients: Whole Grain Flours (Sorghum, Brown Rice, Corn, Amaranth, Quinoa, Millet, Teff), Corn Starch, Tapioca Flour, Rice Flour, Water, Canola Oil*, Xanthan Gum, Evaporated Cane Juice, Cultured Dextrose and Maltodextrin, Salt, Guar Gum, Baking Powder (Monocalcium Phosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Corn Starch), Malic Acid, Active Dry Yeast, Apple Cider Vinegar.
Spinach Tortillas
Ingredients: Whole Grain Flours (Sorghum, Brown Rice, Corn, Amaranth, Quinoa, Millet, Teff), Corn Starch, Tapioca Flour, Rice Flour, Water, Canola Oil*, Xanthan Gum, Spinach Powder, Evaporated Cane Juice, Cultured Dextrose and Maltodextrin, Salt, Baking Powder (Monocalcium Phosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Corn Starch), Guar Gum, Dried Cilantro Leaves, Malic Acid, Garlic Powder, Apple Cider Vinegar, Active Dry Yeast
Fiesta Tortillas
Ingredients: Whole Grain Flours (Sorghum, Brown Rice, Corn, Amaranth, Quinoa, Millet, Teff), Corn Starch, Tapioca Flour, Rice Flour, Water, Canola Oil*, Xantham Gum, Evaporated Cane Juice, Cultured Dextrose and Maltodextrin, Salt, Baking Powder (Monocalcium Phosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Corn Starch), Guar Gum, Malic Acid, Red Bell Pepper Powder, Jalapeno Powder, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Carrot Granules, Parsley Flakes, Apple Cider Vinegar, Active Dry Yeast
My Review
On first inspection, they appeared to be similar to rice tortillas in texture, but much thinner and more pliable. Once heated up in the microwave they softened up quite a bit. You can roll them, re-roll them, and never crack or break.
You can use them stuffed with your favorite filling and heated in the microwave; for enchiladas (love it!) and burritos (heat the tortillas in a skillet); cold wraps (provides a great chewy texture at room temperature, though you can heat them); or just plain right out of the bag!
Flavors: The Plain, is just that. They do not take any flavor away from the ingredients that you use to stuff them. The Spinach does not give off a spinach flavor, yet supplies the health benefits of the spinach. The Fiesta has a bit of jalapeno powder, therefore, are just a slight spicy. I love a nice little kick! It’s not very spicy, just a tiny bit, just enough, though. You may not notice it when the tortilla is stuffed. I really liked them the best. Of course, each flavor will serve their purpose. What will you use them for?

I would love to try these! I have been missing tortillas that are pliable and won't crack!
Like to be entered in this Giveaway because my 9 year old daughter got diagnosed with celiac a few months. I also have it but it has been difficult introducing her to gluten free products and very expensive. If I win I can expose her to additional products that she might love.
I subscribe to your blog via email.
Please enter me in the Rudi's giveaway. I would love to win because I am a huge fan of Rudi's bread so I imagine their tortillas are going to be fantastic.

I'm always looking for good solutions to having a sandwich for lunch. Rudi's tortillas (especially the fiesta flavor!) look like a good way to have what I want without a dry fake bread substitute.
