I have it on good authority that there is a high quality gluten free tortilla on the market. I've not heard of this one before, but sources tell me that the Teff and Millet wraps from La Tortilla Factory are softer and more pliable than other gluten free alternatives, and don't crack or fall apart.
As many of you know, corn tortillas are quite nice fresh, but quickly dry out and become brittle. They are also small. Rice tortillas, found at Whole Foods, are a step up because they are larger and don't fall apart as easily, but they still tend to crack when you roll them.
I'm told that these teff tortillas are above all of that frustration. They don't crack or crumble, and I know from experience that teff is an excellent whole grain with a lot of flavor and an excellent nutritional profile.
They may not be available in stores yet, but you should request that your store carry them. You can order them online from La Tortilla Factory. Maybe you should thank them too. And let me know if you agree with my sources!

I can easily roll the Food for Life rice tortillas without breakage, IF I heat them in the microwave 30 seconds and then spread peanut butter or hummus or refried beans and guacamole or even my homemade (egg free) mayonnaise (plus other fillers) on the tortilla before rolling them. Just like Ener-G Foods suggest we microwave their breads 45 seconds before using (to soften them), the FFL rice tortillas work better when heated briefly.
Here's how I usually make a batch of wraps and freeze them for quick lunches. I lay the heated tortilla on a large piece of saran wrap, spread the tortillaw ith filling, roll it, slice it in half and slice the plastic wrap in half. Then I wrap 2 small tortilla wraps in the plastic and freeze those for convenient lunches.
