Nothing beats homemade, especially when it comes to tortillas. I’ve made corn tortillas and they were simply nothing like the ones you buy in the store. I also decided to venture into the art of making gluten free tortillas and experienced the same thing – homemade is simply yummier. I really don’t mind the Food for Life brand of Brown Rice Tortillas – they are great in a pinch. But if you can, plan some extra time to try to make your own sometime.
The brown rice tortillas I used to make are based on Bette Hagman’s recipe from The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Food. I really love them. However, since I last made them, I started soaking my flours first over night. Without retesting this recipe, I wouldn’t know how to adapt it. I am also grain free now which takes on a whole new meaning. However, here is the original recipe I used to use:
