The Best Gluten Free Tortillas, Ranked

The best gluten free tortillas are corn tortillas—full stop. If gluten is your body’s enemy but you really love tacos, corn tortillas, be they crunchy or soft, are your friends. (White corn tortillas also tend to have a milder corn flavor, too, if that’s what you’re after.) Corn tortillas do have their limitations, however. They’re not as pliable as flour tortillas, which means they don’t really work all that well for burritos. And sometimes you’re just in the mood for the pleasant chew and neutral flavor of flour. That’s where our ranking of the best gf tortillas comes in…

How we searched for the gluten free flour tortillas

Gluten free flour tortillas can be tricky to find. Sadly, since our last update, two products we previously recommended were taken off the market. But that isn’t a reason to lose hope—with popular brands like Mission finally getting their GF tortilla recipe right and rising celiac awareness in general, the best gluten free tortillas can be found in major grocery stores. (Sprouts is also your friend, guys.) 

What we looked for in the best gluten free flour tortillas 

We’ve tasted a lot of gluten free tortillas and wraps over the years, and let me tell ya, a lot of them could use some improvement. When they’re bad, they can be chalky, strange, and chemically tasting. But it is possible to find pretty decent GF dupes for the real thing. The best gluten free tortillas should have a mild flavor and soft texture that isn’t too chewy or stiff. We aren’t looking for perfection, but some of these do come pretty close. Here are five gluten free tortilla brands we really recommend.

BFree Sweet Potato Wraps

Best Sweet

BFree Sweet Potato Wraps

If you don’t like the flavor of sweet potatoes, g’head and skip to the next entry on our list (or the one after that if you don’t like cauliflower either). But I much prefer the flavor of slightly sweet root vegetables (these also contain carrot and beetroot) to the flavor of some of the alternative flours used in other gluten free tortillas. Hell, I’d even double down on the sweet potato factor—stuff these with black beans and sauteed cubes of sweet potato spiced with cumin, and, woof, that’s a good-ass dinner. Flavor aside, these gluten free wraps have a texture that won us over. They bend and roll without breaking. If you can handle sweet potato as a dominant flavor, give these gluten free tortillas a shot. —Gwynedd Stuart

La Tortilla Factory Grain Free Cauliflower Tortillas

Best for Wraps

La Tortilla Factory Grain Free Cauliflower Tortillas

As a gluten consumer myself, I was initially on the fence about La Tortilla Factory’s cauliflower tortillas. The flavor is pretty neutral, which is a big pro, but the texture doesn’t have that easy softness of a good flour tortilla. I appreciate that they’re ultra-thin but super sturdy, so I made our resident GF Sporked video editor (hi, Logan) try them, and her review was pretty positive. If you’ve been gluten-free for a while, the texture really shouldn’t bother you too much. (I’d love this for chicken caesar wrap, personally.) I just recommend eating these fast after you’ve warmed them up, otherwise they dry out and become much more stiff. —Ariana Losch

Mission Gluten Free Spinach Herb

Best Seasoned

Mission Gluten Free Spinach Herb

These spinach-herb tortillas from Mission pack a lot of flavor. They taste like dried herbs and have that nice vegetal flavor from the spinach, kind of like the green chips in a bag of veggie chips. Mission’s original GF tortillas ranked higher, but I will say that I think these have a slightly less mushy consistency, which is nice. The pliability is on point—they bend without breaking. Load up one of these with some veggie chorizo and veggie cheese shreds, and have a blast. —Gwynedd Stuart

Mission Gluten Free Original

Best Soft

Mission Gluten Free Original

In terms of taste and texture, these Mission tortillas were a very close second to the best gluten free tortilla on our list. They’re also way more accessible, so bonus points for that, too. They’re made with modified food starch, rice flour, vegetable shortening, and some tapioca and millet flours. It all adds up to create a very neutral flavor. This is the best gluten free tortilla if you want a wrap that really serves as a blank canvas. The best thing about these is how nice and soft they are. They seem pretty true to a Mission tortilla made with wheat flour. —Gwynedd Stuart

Maria and Ricardo’s Quinoa Flour Tortillas

Best of the Best

Maria and Ricardo’s Quinoa Flour Tortillas

These tortillas from Maria and Ricardo’s rule, but might be slightly harder to find (we sourced ours from Sprouts). They’re made with quinoa flour and avocado oil, and are also dairy, soy, and egg free. You know how quinoa has an earthy flavor? That really comes through when you first take a bite, but then it kind of mellows as you chew. They start to taste almost like a soft pretzel! They’re nice and sturdy, but still pliable. That said, if you like a super soft tortilla, I’d recommend going with Mission. —Gwynedd Stuart
