Flats/Wraps & low carb tortilla help!

[lilbearzmom 584]

I have tried several ways of making these things palatable, but I haven't been able to do it. I hate them. I have turned them into pizza, made "burritos" out of them, and wrapped lunch meat and cheese in them. They are nasty. The next thing I'm going to try is spraying them with butter flavored cooking spray, sprinkling with garlic salt, and baking til crispy, then dipping them in hummus. At this point, I'm just trying to get rid of them. Any ideas? How do you eat them?

I'm either not eating any bread products at all or going to whole wheat tortillas in small amounts and saying screw the carbs.

Try the Mission Carb Balance Tortillas. The are VERY GOOD and they are NOT wheat tortillas. I tried a few of those over the the years and they were horrible and gross to me. I always threw them out-- along with whatever I had made with the first one out of the package. I also make low carb tortilla chips with the Mission Carb Balance and have party guests rave about them (who have no idea they're low carb).

If you live near a HEB grocery store, they have a low carb tortilla they make in their bakery. It's even better than the Mission low carb tortillas (which are pretty good).

Good luck!

Thanks for the responses! I bought the "La Banderita" low carb tortillas because that's what Walmart had. They are awful! I will look for the other kind. I also bought Aldi's Fit & Active wraps, which are almost as bad. I'm going to try the "chip" thing and if they are still awful, I'll just throw them out.

There is a really good whole wheat tortilla that I have bought in the past. My 8 year old even likes them- I would make quesadillas out of them. Not low carb, though.

Mission has two kinds of Carb Balance tortillas. One is smaller and is whole wheat and is only 3 gr net carbs and the white one is only 6 gr carbs. My husband can't even tell the difference. I tried the Flatouts and don't like them at all. Even make pizza out of these Mission ones. I usually have the smaller wheat ones, although I prefer the white, but the size of the wheat ones is better.
