FOOD FOR LIFE'S BROWN RICE TORTILLAS are a good choice if you're looking for a gluten-free alternative. These slightly nutty rounds provide 10 percent of your RDAs for vitamin [B.sub.6], niacin, magnesium and phosphorous.

Our tasters really liked TUMARO'S GOURMET MULTI GRAIN TORTILLAS. We could do without the "Low in Carbs" emblazoned on the package because it downplays their other benefits--8 g of fiber and 10 percent of the calcium RDA.

"Soft and flavorful" is what our testers said about LA TORTILLA FACTORY'S TOMATO BASIL WRAPS. They also have an impressive 12 g of fiber and about 12 percent of your daily iron needs.
