Every time I shop on Allergy Train, I find something new. Last time it was Miss Roben’s Tortilla Mix. Its Fructose Friendly, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Nut Free, Wheat Free, Low Salicylates, Low Amines, Low Glutamates and RPAH Strict Elimination Diet Suitable.Prior to Oscar’s diagnosis a regular meal in our house was tortillas/burritos/tacos – the kind that comes in a box with the salsa and seasoning and you cook the meat and add some lettuce, cheese, tomato, etc. I’ve missed them, so when I saw this product I thought I’d give it a try. Of course we can’t have the spicy seasoning or the salsa, so I found recipes for chicken meatballs and refried beans, and we had cheese, lettuce, tomato (not for Oscar) and sour cream. It was a bit of work to put it all together, but I made the meatballs and beans earlier in the day and put them in the fridge until I was ready. The tortillas were the tricky bit. Not having a tortilla press I googled making tortillas and watched a few youtube clips. It looked quite easy to roll the tortillas between 2 pieces of cling wrap, but it wasn’t so easy to get them off the cling wrap and into the frying pan without tearing, folding over themselves or sticking to my hand. I think my dough was probably a bit sticky, but I didn’t want to add any more flour, so next time I would add the first cup of water a bit at a time until I got a dough consistency. Despite the misshapen looking tortillas, the meal was a big success. Oscar didn’t touch the beans or lettuce, but he had great fun making and wrapping his tortilla with meatballs, cheese and loads sour cream – the first time he’s eaten it on its own.

Good one you for try though. I just went without and stumbled on these by accident.
Wow – I have had such a hard time trying to get a tortilla recipe worked out – a mix sounds like a great saviour! Thanks for the tip.
