Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery wraps up the competition with new tortillas

Product: Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery Original, Spinach, and Fiesta Tortillas – $5.99

Good-bye for life to those tough teff wraps that I started using when I just needed to make burritos or a wrap.  I will not miss them.  I also will not miss the brown rice wraps which tend to fall apart, turn gummy, and just end up a total disaster more than a masterpiece on a plate.  I’m not sad nor sorry to see them go.

Why?

Because Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery has just released the best gluten-free food item to hit the market in a long time.

Gluten-Free Tortillas.

Yes.  And not just any bland tortilla.  Nope.  These come in three amazing flavors: Original, Spinach, and Fiesta.

I figured the best place to start would be with the Original flavor.  I mean…always start with the basics and move on from there.  I decided to pack my original tortilla full with burrito classics.  I took a layer of spinach and added some rice, black beans, red onion, salsa, and queso fresco  to it.  I fold the wrap up (and it didn’t tear) and dinner was served.  I can’t even begin to explain how happy this tortilla made me.  For one thing, it held together without being stiff.  While they are soft to begin with, I gave mine a quick warm in the microwave and it softened it up some.  It didn’t crumble or break as I wrapped it around the filling.  And, even better, it held together bite after bite after bite.  I found this tortilla to have a very light, buttery, salty-sweet flavor to it.  It worked so well with the filling.  I was totally impressed.

The next tortilla I decided to give a try to was the Spinach one.  And for this one, I decided I was going to do breakfast.  Why not?  I love a good breakfast wrap and these had been sadly absent from my life when I went gluten-free.  So, that morning, I did up an egg scramble which consisted of eggs, sauteed mushrooms, onion, and a hit of spinach at the end…just in there long enough to wilt.  I hit up the pan with a drizzle of truffle oil and then loaded up my spinach tortilla.  Once again, it isn’t necessary to warm the tortilla to make it wrap, but I went ahead and did so anyway, just for a few seconds.  In the end…I was in heaven.  Honestly…one of the best wraps I had ever managed to make.  And, once more…nothing fell apart as I bit into it, nor did the tortilla disintegrate in my hands from becoming soggy from the filling.  This was breakfast harmony.  The spinach tortillas do not overpower you with spinach flavor.  They are a very light green in color, which is a nice change of pace.  And the flavor is spot on.  I used these again with quesadillas that I stuffed with homemade guacamole and cheese.  Toasted them up in my pan and viola…dinner perfection.

Finally, I opted for the most intriguing of the flavors.  Fiesta.  I love how colorful this wrap is.  It has a soft orange hue to it and is freckled with spices and herbs.  As it’s name suggests, this would be the perfect wrap for something Mexican.  So, that was the path I decided on when I set out to make a filling for this.  I sauteed up some onions, added organic black beans, fresh tomatoes, and fresh corn, and let it simmer for a moment in the pan until most of the tomato juice had been absorbed.  Then, it was onto the tortilla.  I topped it off with some Daiya cheddar shreds and melted it off in the microwave.  I did not pre-heat the tortilla as I knew I’d be putting it in the microwave for cheese melting purposes.  What emerged was what my roommate likes to call my best wrap yet.  Packed with flavor, the fiesta tortillas have a nice zip to them.  They turned out to be my favorite of the bunch.  And I made this exact meal three more times that week because it was such a hit.

I can’t even begin to explain how happy these tortillas have made me.  I use them for everything now and eagerly anticipate the day I can find them in one of my local grocery store/natural food store haunts.  I find them to be miles ahead of any other gluten-free wrap/tortillas out on the market…and there aren’t that many options.  Seeing Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery take on this task and provide an amazing product to the gluten-free community has me wanting to turn cartwheels.
