You might try Lavosh Bread , it's a flat bread like "naan" , very tasty , and great for wraps.
Trader Joe's usually has it , it's low fat with about 150 cals and 24 gm of carbs.

Oooh yes they are good too!!
I LOVE them. They make the BEST low carb pizzas. Put some tomato sauce on them, add a little cheese ..... YUM YUM YUM. Plus, they have a lot of fiber. Great "cheat" that isn't really a cheat!

The ones I bought say Low Carb Whole Wheat on the package...they were a little brown but not brown-brown.....
And DG - YES!! I've made that "pizza" before using the flat bread with great results!! BBQ chicken (1 tblsp BBQ sauce, shredded chicken, cheese, red onion) is another awesome alternative.....
What do the ingredients say? Made w white flour or whole wheat flour?
IMO, all things in moderation. Nothing wrong with white low carb tortillas once in awhile, once a day or so. If you are not trying to compete, then no harm ... at least in my opinion. Esp if in general your diet is high in veggies, good carbs and good fats.
Oh, and I have gotten the Carb Down flatbread at Wal Mart, and at my grocery store. It is usually in it's own little stand, by the deli.

Hence, the white color.

I have used Mission before, but it seems that ALL the LC tortillas I've tried have that funky taste to them. I decided to go for a whole grain tortilla that isn't LC, but I only eat them occasionally.
They're called Tam-X-ico's 100% Whole Wheat Tortillas. The first several ingredients are:
Stone ground 100% whole wheat
100% whole Grains, which include: (cracked wheat, barley, corn millet, oats, flax, rye, sesame, triticale, brown rice, soya)
There are some preservatives in them - obviously, but there is only 1 gram of sugar. You can SEE whole flax seeds and other grains in this thing.
No funky taste either.
Per Tortilla:
Cal: 106
Fat: 2.5g (sat 0, trans 0, poly 1, mono 1)
Cholesterol: 0g
Sodium: 230mg
Total Carb: 18g
Fiber: 3g
Sugars: 1g
Protein: 2g

Ezekial wraps are also very good. They aren't low carb, but it's simply sprouted grains and water...possibly salt.

Looks good also - but I just like all that fiber in the other ones, which make the net carbs lower......I don't see any reason, really (unless you're cutting to compete) why you couldn't incorporate either one into your meal plan.....

I didn't realized that where you live there are a lot of different types of tortillas.
Here in Mexico, I just classify them in two... the ones made out of corn and the ones made out of flour (the type varies, but still flour).
I prefer to avoid flour made tortillas because of refined flours. Corn on the other hand, provide low source of carbs and contain a lot of fiber too.

In China, we mix corn flour and soy bean flour (roughwrought) together with some saleratus and some water, and then steam it into tortillas.
