Spicy Ranch and Ciabatta Rolls

We can say with some certainty that we’re pretty good at baking bread. After all, we’ve been at it since 1976! Now, we’ve expanded our horizons in the kitchen beyond our delicious sandwich breads and tortillas. 2014 brought in a wave of new products including our one-of-a-kind gluten-free Ciabatta Rolls! For a complete list of our new products, click here.

As the only par-baked roll of this kind in the entire gluten-free market, we take pride in our creation and want you to enjoy it as much as we do! As with our entire gluten-free product line, our Ciabatta Rolls are baked with two ideals in mind: 1. excellent taste and 2. a simple and entirely non-GMO ingredient list!

Our Ciabatta Rolls come in two flavors: Rosemary Olive Oil and Plain. They’re super easy to cook either in the oven OR microwave and have a taste that’s hard to top! They’re perfect to ensure that everyone at your family dinner can enjoy a delicious, warm, and fluffy roll with their plates. You can also serve the rolls by themselves or use Cosmo’s Spicy Ranch as an excellent dipping sauce!

In fact, we paired our rolls with Cosmo’s Spicy Ranch for this recipe. Not only are they our hometown neighbors (go Colorado!), all of Cosmo’s ranch recipes are gluten-free, vegetarian, and contain absolutely no preservatives!

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag Rudi’s Gluten-Free Ciabatta Rolls
  • Cosmo’s Spicy Ranch (any flavor!)

Preparation:

  1. Cook Ciabatta Rolls in toaster over at 350 degrees for 4 minutes or until toasted.
  2. Pour 1 cup Spicy Ranch into a bowl, place rolls on a plate, and serve!
  3. Optional: cut rolls into 1/2″ slices and arrange for more people to enjoy!

Also try Rudi’s Ciabatta Rolls with Cosmo’s ranch on a party platter! Simple slice rolls into 1/2 inch pieces and place them on a tray with a small bowl of Cosmo’s Ranch in the middle!

Southwest Quinoa Chicken Wrap

Recently, I’ve been inspired by many of the flavors and ingredients that are used in mexican dishes. Chicken wraps  are always a great lunch for me because I love using leftovers from my fridge. You can put most foods in a tortilla and it will always turn out amazing. I wanted to share this recipe with you because I love the southwest quinoa in my wraps.  This lunch is a super protein packed lunch and will keep you satisfied throughout your day.

I used Rudi’s Gluten-Free Spinach Tortilla for the wrap and this time, I decided to use Applegate’s Natural Grilled Chicken Breast Strips which was wonderful in my wrap!

Ingredients:

 

Preparation:

  1. Shred or cut chicken strips into smaller pieces and set aside.
  2. Cook quinoa according to manufacturer’s instructions. I do recommend cooking it in chicken broth instead of water to make it extra tasty!
  3. In a bowl, combine quinoa, beans, corn, onion, and sun-dried tomatoes and mix together.
  4. Spoon quinoa mixture onto tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, cabbage shreds, chicken, and lettuce.
  5. Roll the tortilla up and slice in half for a healthy, gluten-free meal!

Snack Size Hummus Wraps

I recently just tried hummus for the first time and WOW is it good! I know what you’re thinking… “Really?! You’ve gone your whole life without hummus??” Yes, yes. I know. BUT to make up for my years without this delicious spread, I’ve been using it constantly in my lunches and snacks and want to share one of my new-found, healthy recipes with you! My version of this treat is pretty straight forward, so feel free to add your own spin!

 

Ingredients (makes ~15 bites)

Preparation

  1. Steam tortillas to make them more pliable. (Alternative: place a damp paper towel over tortillas and microwave for 15 seconds.)
  2. Once warm, divide and spread hummus evenly over tortillas.
  3. Divide and spread sprouts evenly over tortillas and hummus. Press down slightly so they hold.
  4. Cut cheese into thin slices and place over tortillas.
  5. Roll up tortillas and slice into bite size pieces.

We decided to top off our cake with fresh strawberries, but any other fruit, more crumble, or even chocolate fudge would make for a great topping!
