FAQs

What is gluten free tortillas made of? ›

Gluten-free tortillas are made with alternative flours that do not contain gluten, such as corn flour, rice flour, or chickpea flour. These flours are mixed with water, fat (such as oil or butter), and seasonings to form a dough.

Flours made from almonds or cassava (a root vegetable with a nutty flavor) are among the most common grain-free base ingredients for wraps. The brand Siete makes paleo-friendly cassava and almond flour wraps (although the almond is more of a taco-size tortilla than a full-size sandwich wrap).

Ingredients. Tapioca starch (53%), water, white corn masa flour (8%), stabilisers (glycerol, xanthan gum), quinoa flour (4%), amaranth flour, emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), salt.
