One good thing about the elimination diet is that is allows corn, and with that comes a viable tortilla option. The only problem with corn tortillas is that they almost always come in the smaller, taco size. So what's a girl to do if she's looking for something larger? Luckily Food 4 Life, one of my all time favorite brands, has a couple of great options. I was in search of something for quesadillas and I stumbled upon their Black Rice Tortillas. With a fairly clean, allergen-free ingredient list, they seemed almost too good to be true:
Black Rice Flour, Organic Brown Rice Flour, Filtered Water, Organic Tapioca Flour, Safflower oil, Organic Chia Seeds, Rice Bran, Vegetable Gum (Xanthan Gum, Cellulose), Sea Salt.
But I decided to give them a try, and I was not disappointed. I did spray a little non-stick spray in the pan before I made my quesadillas since rice in general has a tendency to stick. But overall I'm not sure it was needed. These guys toasted up nice and crisp, they held their shape, and the taste and texture were perfect. My only tip would be to keep an eye on them while cooking, as the edges of my top tortilla would start to curl like crazy, which appeared to be a sign that it was time to flip. Thanks to the clean ingredients and good taste, this is a product I'll be serving my whole family, rather than something I'll use just for me. Good deal!
