Fried tortilla's I can eat :)
I normally order the fajita meal and not use the tortilla's

I make really good enchilladas and soak the pain in sauce pretty good so I was just curious if I will probably have a hard time with that or not.

Flour tortillas get stuck...only had to try it once. The corn tortillas I can chew until they are mush.

soft tortilia's equal a pb - every time. And not just a regular pb, but one that stays stuck for about 6 hours. Ugh!
This is one of about 5 foods that I totally void!
Be cautious.

the only time I've ever had trouble with tortillas is when I was tooo tight. I avoid corn tortillas because corn makes me hungry.

I stay away from the Flour Tortillas. Corn Tortillas in enchiladas or casserole no problems.

All I can say is sometimes I can and sometimes I can't - I never know what makes a difference as it changes from day to day and meal to meal - there are no constants for me with the band - it is always a mystery what will work. Whenever I eat them I basically gum them to death - and just the smallest nibble.

Tortillas are just like bread to me... a no-no.
I can ONLY do bread products in small amounts when they have had the SH@&* toasted out of them, and are now more like a cracker... wheich I can do in small amounts. I could have a tortilla chip, if I chew it to death, but not a tortilla.
I used to love breakfast burritos from a nearby mexican place, so now I just make scrambled eggs with cheese, chorizo and salsa.

I've been too scared to try tortillias alone. I can have the chips, I can eat enchillatas, but like Paul I just do the eggs w/cheese and salsa. I am afraid of bread of any kind and in any form so I don't know if I can eat it or not.
