what's a good tortilla

[jenscats5]

ooh that sounds great daisygirl. WHere can u get them?

BTW your baby is just super adorable!!! What a peach!

Jens I actually have some low carb mission ones in the frig that i like, but they are white looking. I will have to check that out. I assume if they are whole wheat they are brownish, right??

thanks everyone

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.....

Jens,
mine say carb balance and they're by mission.

cal 110
fat 2.5
sodium 330
total carb 18
fiber 11
protein 5
sugars 0

* Are these ok or not?? They don't say whole wheat though!!*
If not please explain why, cuz I look at that and think.."these look good".

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.

It's enriched bleached wheat flour. Hence, the white color.
I'll look for something more natural i think. Good for the kids though, with the protein and fiber.

Any hydrogenated oils, fats, etc??

They don't sound too bad - better than most of the crap you can buy....

Yeah a long list.....but not overly bad, really..... The positives are the: NO sugar, 5g of protein & the fiber count (a very good amount!).....

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.
