    Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas are a Good Size for Gluten Free (DISCONTINUED)

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on November 7, 2019 Discontinued Products, Product Reviews

    Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas have gone in and out of availability over the years, but for now it looks like they are unavailable.

    Mexican food wasn’t very popular in our home, but when my husband Tony went on a gluten-free diet, he was craving burritos. And little corn tortillas just weren’t cutting it. Then one day, I saw them. Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas displayed prominently at the head of the aisle in all their wheat-free, gluten-free glory. This was a slam-dunk sale.

    Trader Joe's Brown Rice Tortillas - Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free (Review) - from Food for Life

    Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas are a Good Size for Gluten Free

    Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas are medium in size, which is great for enchiladas or mid-sized burritos. I noticed upon taking them from the package that they are a bit crispy chewy. So I covered two with a wet paper towel and microwaved them for thirty seconds. This definitely helped with the pliability and chew, but pan-heating also works well.

    My husband quite liked them, as they didn’t fall apart at all mid-meal like so many wheat tortillas do. He enjoyed the flavor, and though not overly enthused, found them to be a good medium for his burrito. I was a bit surprised at first, even when still warm, the tortillas were quite chewy and a bit tough. Certainly not something my wheat-consuming friends will be trying to steal from my cupboards. However, they did grow on me, and I must admit, the way they didn’t break apart was pretty cool.

    At first I wasn’t too set back by the price at $1.99 (we first purchased them in 2007 – this review has been updated). Though I realized after purchase that this was for just six tortillas. Also, on my return to the store only two weeks later, the price had risen to $2.29, and soon after, $2.49. That was some quick inflation on a brand new product! (They have since risen to $3.49!) But, if you need a tortilla, you need a tortilla.  We did repurchase a couple of times, but eventually our Mexican food cravings gave way to dishes that didn’t require purchasing Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas.

    Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas are Food for Life, We Think

    Trader Joe’s sources their products from other food manufacturers, but has them put their own private label on the packaging. We’re pretty sure Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas are actually Food For Life Brown Rice Tortillas. They’re identical in ingredients, nutrition, and taste.

    These were awesome. Unfortunately TJ’s discontinued them. They made great quesadillas.

    These were $2.99 for me this week in western Washington. I haven’t had these for years so I thought I’d give them a whirl again. The chewy texture and funky taste were off-putting enough to prevent me from buying them again. If I really want a gluten-free tortilla, I’ll pick Mission even though I don’t care for their laundry list of ingredients. It’s easier than making my own.

    These burrito-makers win high marks for convenience and competitiveness in both price and simple, healthy ingredients. They’re also a nice medium-size for making most of your favorite Mexican meals and they hold together amazingly well. But alas, the very chewy texture is hard to get past. Heating helps, but as it quickly cools, the texture toughens making these tortillas a bit hard to swallow.
