Do you have someone, no names revealed 🙂 , in your family that is just so darn picky to feed? I have two! The hubby and the oldest child. Both greatly dislike whole wheat tortillas. I have tried many ways to "make" them hoping they will choose them over white flour tortillas, but no luck.
I recently made a shopping trip to Trader Joe's and bought these brown rice tortillas for a change for myself for lunch as well as having high hopes my boys would like them.
I had mine as a wrap for lunch, cold, straight from the fridge. I enjoyed it, but not being soft to wrap around like whole wheat tortillas, I didn't think my boys would eat them. SO I decided to warm them up in a saute pan sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Immediately the texture changes, they became phenomenal! I mean seriously fantastic! The heating causes them to becomes more pliable, perfect for making quesidillas or even enchiladas.
I added a little salt, flipped them over a minute or two on each side, added some shredded mozzarella and..........
The oldest picky child said these were the best homemade chips he has ever had!
Do you realize that I RARELY hear such words from my oldest?! He couldn't believe they were made from brown rice!
Here's the ingredients listed on the package in order:
- Brown rice flour; filtered water; tapioca flour; safflower oil; rice bran; xanthan; sea salt

This is the first product that has received all A's from me, so that is certainly saying a lot right there! I will definitely be using these frequently in my home!
I'd love to hear if you've tried them!
Do you have a favorite product you can recommend that is weight loss friendly and kid friendly too?

We have used the tortillas for maybe 10 years?? certainly as long as TJ's has been selling them. We use them in ALL the ways mentioned and have mastered the microwave for them too! 20seconds max at 'standard' heat. Try on your micro for your preference. Start with 10 seconds, and add 10 seconds. Occasionally I press the 30 second button by mistake, not perfect, just a tad overdone, but still good.
now, my TJs have stopped selling them! What to do??!!
