Low Carb Tortillas - La tortilla

[shrinkmequick]

I found these today in Gelsons - also saw a space for them in Trader Joe's, but they were out. They had herbed, and plain. Made with whole wheat flour and soy flour, 3 net carbs each. Delicious

There are some advantages to our supermarket strike - I would never have found these otherwise

First 'sandwich' I have had in a while - it really hit the spot.

I like these too, although I only eat them perhaps once a week, if that. I did find that the filling makes all the difference in how they taste, however. (Though I have to say the first time I ate one I sauteed it in butter and just had it like that. It was my first taste of "bread" and it sent me into a swoon!)

Gelsons? Do you happen to live in Costa Mesa or Newport Beach?

I've been eating the low carb tortillas for quite a while now. The recipe must have changed in the last few months because they've gotten much, much better. I use them for breakfast tacos, regular tacos, wraps, and enchiladas.

this is way off of the subject, but where does everyone get the cheatfree things? and all that cool stuff on their messages? i'm kinda new here but this is by far the best atkins bulletin board i've found so that's why i joined!!!

and on the subject...the garlic and herb tortillas are excellent, w/some shredded cheese and sour cream and cut up chicken breast...mmm mmm

I love these shells, I use them for tacos, tostadas, and wraps. I can tell you, I sure am happy I can enjoy a taco. I love mexican food.

I also use them as pizza crust. I buy the bigger ones for pizza (8inch) they are 5 carbs each. Fry it in pan with vegetable oil, until both sides are browned. Add ragu traditional spaghetti sauce (1/4 cup = 6 carbs) add cooked sausage and cheese. Put in the oven (400 degrees) 8-12 mins. It is great!!

Reminder to those starting out. Not for induction.

Can we have these on induction?

[Michael Tree]

Nope, since they have grains in them. I had a couple just after induction and they gave me cravings, so I only use them sparingly now.
