Rice wraps?

OK, I feel like an eejit because I was just in the Asian supermarket today and I didn't look.
I'd like to know if there's a rice-flour-based "wrap" type thing in existence. Like a tortilla only made of rice. Because I shouldn't eat wheat or corn. Is there something ready made? Not a brand name, but just the name of the thing.
I suppose I could make gram-flour chapatti things, but would they wrap?
And does anyone know of a recipe on here for such?
so you mean works exactly like a tortilla but made from rice? they do exist in the states...
I have a friend with wheat allergies. She buys gluten-free wraps that are made of rice. I don't know what else is in them or even if they are vegan. My friend eats an omni, mostly whole foods diet. I'll look at the brand next time I go to the HFS if I remember.
They have those rice wrapper things for spring rolls, but those aren't bready like a tortilla is... chewy, thin, and clear-ish.

A brand wouldn't help me much in Spain because we wouldn't have it.

I just need to go back to the store and actually look, now that I know there is something. Springroll wrappers, forgot about them. Maybe I could use two.
You know? There is a tortilla recipe on this website that is pretty awesome. Could you make that recipe but instead of wheat flour use rice flour? Would that work? I don't know if the two or interchangeable. Maybe some other type of flour like garbanzo bean flour?

Yes, those are the questions I asked in my OP.
rice flour by itself doesnt work.
There is a reicipe for millet wrap. I will try that when i buy some more millet!
I think you would need to fix a few flours together, rice, potatoes, gram flour.. maybe that would work? Gram flours is quite good i think. But i just cant eat wheat so i use rye a lot.
Food For Life rice-based tortillas are really good! I'm even going to list them/recommend them in my next book.

Yeah but as I say, this is Spain...no American brands here. :P I guess I'll have to man up and ask at the HFS but they are sooooo pricey for everything. I was hoping I could make my own.
Note to self: work out a recipe....
So I'm an idiot. So it ocurred to me to check the Indian Recipes category. So there are three or four different recipes there.
I still have to find a source for rice flour in quantity. I could probably blitz it in my blender but I'd probably burn out the motor.
Sorry! Sometimes I don't read through the whole thread if I'm pressed on time. I wonder if you could look at the ingredients on them though for ideas? Just a thought.
