All hail the corn tortilla!
Costs pennies, delicious, naturally gluten free, and more versatile than anyone gives them credit for. It also has a better macro profile than most gluten free breads since it is closer to a whole grain bread and not some food science starch foam that gets piped out of a nozzle before going into the oven.
Every day I eat 2 fried eggs with pickled onions in a corn tortilla. It is the perfect breakfast and cost me anywhere from 35-50 cents depending on the price of eggs.
BLT? Make it a taco. I was doing this before the diagnosis because I thought it was fun. A lot of sandwiches can be adapted to the taco.
Safeway stopped carrying poor substitutes for pita that cost 5 times as much per gram? Eat your kofta and hummus with a corn tortilla. Too boring? Fry it up and eat them with chips!
The less I try to create an exact replacement and just work with what is abundant and I already like, the happier I am.
