I stopped keeping them around, as they were almost always made with low
fiber white flour. Found a "low carb, low fat" brand and tried it, and was pleasantly surprised. They were very tender, very moist and fresh. 81 calories, 11 carbs, 5 grams protein, 2 grams fat, 6 grams fiber. NO cholesterol, no transfats. That's a huge nutritional improvement over regular flour tortillas. The first ingredient is water, the second whole wheat. They also contain oat and soy fiber and lecithin. There are several brands, the only one I tried was from "Ole Mexican Foods," called "La Banderita." They are a little more expensive than regular because you get 8 instead of 10 tortillas. But at $2, still a deal. My husband likes burritos and soft tacos filled with different things. I like to make leftover beef and pork in to "taco meat," and yesterday I had scrambled eggs with salsa and melted cheddar in a tortilla, it was wonderful. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

They make whole wheat and they have no trans-fats. Not sure if they are available elsewhere. |

I've tried both their white and whole wheat "Carb Balance" varieties and they are palatable. Not as good as the local tortillarias make, but definitely healthier. -- Janet Wilder Bad spelling.

So far, they haven't caught my eye - not saying they aren't there, just that I haven't noticed them yet. Googling, I see there are also low carb tortilla chips. Must look for those too and see how they taste. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

We do have Mission brand tortillas up here, so with any luck - it's just a matter of locating or requesting the low-carb version. ![]() -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |
