Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas: Product Review

 

 

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!
