Any tortilla that is store bought recommended?

#1

I know I can make some home made version… but I am not wanting to if I don’t have to…

Carb sense seems too high in carbs…

Store bought low carb tortilla that is REALLY legal?

I have been told that Mission brand low carb tortillas are good, at 6net carbs per tortilla. But, I have not yet tried them so cannot tell you from personal experience!! I will recommend Joseph’s pita bread, they are excellent, and very thin so you could definitely use those for anything you would need a tortilla for. Another added plus is they are very affordable!! Hope this helps!!

I have found one here in Michigan at our local Meijers store…they are called La Tortilla Factory and with the fiber end up being 3 carbs.

I was surprised at how good they were!! 6 net carbs each, and only $2.08 for a package of 6!! It’s a game changer having a good bread option if you ask me. Gonna try making baked pita chips with them next!! Let me know what you think!!! :wink:

How do they taste?? Will have to look and see if I can find those at local stores here!!

I prefer Joseph’s Lavash Bread, cut into sandwich-size pieces. Work great as top and bottom for burgers, or wrap-around for hot dogs (no excess, like you would if using a low carb tortilla).

I liked them…but, honestly I am not very fussy. LOL

We have been buying the Mission brand whole wheat carb balance for ages. Mainly my toddler eats them as a snack, which I definitely prefer to her eating white Wonder bread or goldfish crackers! I probably only eat 1 tortilla per month myself though. I was eating a couple a week in June and this may have contributed to my weight loss plateau at that point. Their macros per one tortilla are:

1.5 g fat
3 g protein
13 g total carbs
9 g fiber
4 g NET carbs

Some people seem to be able to handle the net carbs better than others. I have had cow peas from my garden which are very carby but have a lot of fiber.

I felt bloated the next day so fasted to compensate. If I have a high total carb day (but < 20 net) I try to eat very low carb the next day.

The low carb ones I’ve tried don’t appeal to me. No flavor IMO.

Yeah, some taste like cardboard.

I must have calculated wrong… I thought they were 6 net carbs each… I ended up getting carb sense I think by mission… don’t love them but they are way better than trying to make them! I only ate 1 for dinner… hoping they won’t hurt me too bad…

“Recipe” idea #1 “Chips”: Slice them into 8 ‘wedges’ and deep fry them. Salt them. Enjoy your ‘chips’!

“Recipe” idea #2 “Pizza”: Heat oven to 350F, put tortillas on baking sheet, add low carb sauce, cheese, toppings, bake for 10-15 minutes until browned

Although, I am cautious, as it is a ‘wheat’ product, and may still significantly raise glucose (and therefore insulin) based on some “n=1” blood tests I’ve seen people post. I suspect the ‘fiber’ is lower than stated on the label (meaning, higher net carb count). Search these forums (and the web) for glucose tests after wheat-based “low net carb” breads/bagels/tortillas/etc.

I’ve tried the ones from mission and love them
