A low-carb alternative to flour tortillas?
Flour tortillas are carb-loaded and high calorie so I thought I’d try these low carbohydrate Paleo wraps. They are only 70 calories and 4 net carbs. To compare, Mission Foods flour tortillas are 146 calories and 25 grams of carbs. These Paleo wraps feel and taste like stiff paper. They’re very expensive at $1.14 each. I tried eating it raw (blah), microwaving it (no difference) and toasting it in the oven (it turned into black toxic cardboard). Don’t waste your money on these. I haven’t found anything remotely as tasty as flour tortillas yet, but if you want to wrap your food in something low carb and low-calorie, lettuce leaves are still the best bet.
Have you tried Lavosh wraps? I don’t know the calories and I think they might also come in whole wheat. They are dairy free also. I brush some oil on the wrap, some garlic powder, and then put it in the oven just to slightly toast. They are delicious.
Yes, lavash is delish, but it’s also whole wheat and has a lot of carbs, depending on whether you use the whole or half sheet. I toast mine in the oven too.
There are also low carb tortillas that taste just as good – La Tortilla Factory (80 cals, 10 net carbs)
good to know, thanks!
