Plantain Tortillas

So I have been doing the Paleo diet successfully,  but have struggled with eliminating corn and wheat tortillas for wraps!  I have been searching for an alternative other than just using lettuce.  I stumbled upon this recipe and am planning to try it out this week —-I’ll keep you posted on the outcome.  You may remember what plantains are from the infamous episode of “Little Bill”–Season 4, episode 2—Little Bill learns about trying new foods!!!  Maybe we could all use a lesson in that!!!  YES—it is gluten-free!
