Finding a supplier of authentic Mexican corn tortillas was a revelation to us. We found these early on in our gluten free journey from the lovely Cool Chilli stall in Borough Market, in South London which we still regularly frequent. Though they now supply many local deli’s and health food shops in our area, so we don’t now have to rely on going to Borough market.
They are naturally gluten free and are delicious. We regularly make both Quesadillas and Fajitas with them, the kids love both these dishes and so do many of their friends that come round for tea.
We usually make Quesadillas when we have left over tortillas after a meal of Fajitas. They are not the healthiest of our recipes to be fair, but I do usually fill them with a thin layer of pizza sauce or tomato sauce to add a little but of nutritional value. Or eat them wth a big bowl of salad of chunked up cucumbers, halves cherry tomatoes and chunks of avocado. They are also great served with avocado, salsa and soured cream.
These are such a quick recipe that only takes a few minutes to make, and they go down a treat with all kids.
Heat up a non stick frying pan on a medium heat, have the sauce (optional) and grated cheese at the ready and put on top of the tortillas. As the tortillas cook, the cheese will melt. Just as it melts fold the tortilla over and take it out the pan. Chop it in half and put it on the plate to serve with the already prepped salad guacamole, salsa and soured cream.

I’m Nic, a mother of 2 young children with coeliac disease and my eldest also has an egg allergy. Since the first diagnosis in December 2013, our family life has changed dramatically. Cooking, shopping, eating out, visiting friends, play dates and holidays in a family where there are multiple food related issues has been daunting to say the least. This has led me to rise to the challenge, learn fast to make sure my kids have the best nutrition they possibly can.
I invite you and your children to join me on my lifetime journey with gluten free nutritious food for all the family.
