Choose wraps explicitly labelled gluten-free, then match the number and size of wraps to the Easter lunch you plan to serve: six regular Old El Paso wraps suit smaller individual fajitas or tacos, while its four large wraps suit fuller burrito-style portions. Tesco Free From wraps are another option when wheat- and milk-free labelling matters; whichever you choose, check the current pack and every filling or sauce against your guest’s needs.
Who is this lunch for?
Hosts serving a gluten-free guest
Choose a labelled gluten-free wrap and check the fillings, sauces and preparation steps too. Planning ahead is useful when shopping for a particular range: in Coeliac UK’s 2025 Shopping Habits survey, 38.4% of its 3,785 member respondents said they were happy with the gluten-free range in supermarkets. That finding concerns the wider range, not tortilla-wrap availability at a particular shop.
Families making a build-your-own lunch
Count the portions before choosing a format. Old El Paso lists six regular gluten-free tortillas for smaller fajita- or taco-style servings and four large wraps for fuller burrito-style portions.
Shoppers checking other dietary needs
A gluten-free label does not answer every ingredient or allergen question. Tesco lists its Free From White Tortilla Wraps as wheat- and milk-free as well as gluten-free; check the exact pack if those distinctions matter to your guest.
What should you check when choosing wraps?
Start with the gluten-free claim on the pack, then choose a serving format and check whether the rest of the meal meets your guest’s requirements.
| Priority |
What to check |
Your needs |
| Gluten-free identification |
Look for an explicit gluten-free claim on the current pack; do not rely on a wrap being described as corn-based or Mexican-style. Read the ingredient and allergen statement as well. |
I want a clear label I can check before serving. In Coeliac UK’s 2025 Shopping Habits survey of 3,785 member respondents, 74.7% trusted its Crossed Grain Trademark more than a gluten-free statement; that measures trust, not whether a wrap without the trademark is unsuitable. |
| Count and size |
Compare the planned portions with six 36 g regular Old El Paso wraps, four 54 g large Old El Paso wraps or four 40 g Tesco Free From wraps. Decide whether the meal calls for smaller individual wraps or fuller servings. |
For a make-your-own lunch, I need enough labelled wraps for the number of people eating them, without substituting ordinary flour tortillas if a pack runs short. |
| Other ingredients |
Check each wrap’s full ingredient and allergen statement, alongside every filling, seasoning and sauce. Tesco lists its 160 g Free From wraps as gluten-, wheat- and milk-free; do not extend those claims to other recipes. |
My guest may need to avoid an ingredient besides gluten, so the label on every part of the meal matters. |
| Fibre information |
If comparing fibre, use the stated serving size: Tesco lists 8.3 g fibre per 40 g Free From wrap. Check the current pack before comparing it with another recipe. |
I would like to compare the fibre stated for the portion I plan to serve, rather than assume all gluten-free wraps have the same recipe. |
| Storage |
Read the instructions for the exact pack. Old El Paso says to refrigerate its large gluten-free wraps once opened and consume them within three days; it also lists them as suitable for home freezing. |
If I am buying ahead, I need a storage plan that fits when the pack will be opened and served. |
What can catch you out?
-
Assuming an ordinary tortilla is gluten-free
Old El Paso’s regular flour tortillas list wheat flour, unlike its separately labelled gluten-free tortillas.
Choose a wrap with an explicit gluten-free claim and check the current pack before preparing the guest’s meal.
-
Checking pack count but not wrap size
Old El Paso’s gluten-free formats contain either six regular 36 g tortillas or four large 54 g wraps. The same number of packs will not provide the same number of portions.
Decide whether you are serving smaller fajitas or tacos, or fuller wraps, and count the labelled gluten-free wraps you will need.
-
Treating gluten-free as a complete allergen check
Recipes differ. Tesco lists its Free From wraps as wheat- and milk-free, while the Promise Gluten Free wrap ingredients listed by Tesco include mustard.
Check the exact wrap, fillings, sauces and seasonings against all allergies relevant to your guest.
-
Relying only on an online listing
Old El Paso and Tesco warn that recipes or allergen information can change, so an older listing may not describe the pack you buy.
Check the physical pack’s gluten-free claim, ingredients, allergen statement, date and storage instructions before serving.

Common questions
Are corn or Mexican-style tortilla wraps automatically gluten-free?
No. Old El Paso’s ordinary flour tortillas list wheat flour and are not gluten-free. Choose a wrap explicitly labelled gluten-free, then read the ingredient and allergen statement on the current pack.
How should I store wraps bought ahead of Easter Sunday?
Follow the instructions on the exact pack. Old El Paso says its large gluten-free wraps should be refrigerated and consumed within three days after opening; it also lists them as suitable for home freezing.
Can I use any fajita kit, salsa or filling with a gluten-free wrap?
Check each component separately: a gluten-free wrap does not establish that the seasoning, sauce or filling meets your guest’s needs. Keep gluten-free food and its preparation utensils separate from wheat-containing wraps and their fillings.
