Brown Rice Tortillas: YUM!!!

[Guest guest]

I wanted to let you know about a new product I have found in our local New

Leaf Market. Food For Life (makers of GF breads) now has a gluten-free

brown rice tortilla. I have tried them (OK, I'm thinking about buying them

by the case) and I really love them. They are large-sized, so for those of

you who have been longing for a burrito, here's your chance. The flavor is

fabulous. I like them toasted with a bit of cheese on top, sometimes

filled with avocado, salsa, or sandwich ingredients (turkey, lettuce, and

tomato is great). I have also steamed them and filled them with burrito

ingredients. They are a bit stiff when you take them out of the package.

If you microwave them, it is a good idea to moisten them first, but steaming

on the stove works better. I have also deep fried them as tortilla chips.

The only problem I have had is that some of them have small holes (a very

minor inconvenience).

If your local health food store doesn't carry these tortillas, they are

worth asking for.
