Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas are a very interesting yeast free product. I realize that you are probably interpreting the word interesting as code for gross but that is not exactly the case. To be honest these brown rice tortillas did fail miserably at what I intended to use them for. I thought that I would be able to use them just like regular flour tortillas and make sandwich wraps but they are not at all pliable enough for this task. They break every time you try to fold them and this makes for a very lousy wrap. I have also tried using them for tacos but even a slight bend coupled with the weight of the taco fillings sends your taco crumbly down to your plate as you are trying to eat it. I didn’t think I would find anything to do with these after the wrap and taco failures but then I wondered if I could make Brown Rice Tortilla Chips. Chips are crunchy so the non pliable thing should not be an issue right? Brown Rice Tortilla Chips were a great success and I am so happy that I have found something to do with this yeast free product. It seemed like such a waste otherwise because I knew that these had potential, it just took me a little while to find where they would fit in. Brown Rice Tortilla Chips are okay for the candida diet, easy to make and oh so tasty. They really do make a great yeast free snack and are especially good paired with homemade yeast free salsa or homemade yeast free hummus. The ingredients in Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas are Brown Rice Flour, Filtered Water, Tapioca Flour, Safflower Oil, Rice Bran, Vegetable Gum (Xanthan, Cellulose) and Sea Salt. They cost $2.49 at Trader Joe’s. Just a warning that they do run out of these often which leads me to believe that they are a pretty popular item. You can buy a few packages at a time and freeze them until you are ready to use.
