LaTortilla Factory Whole Wheat Low Carb Low fat Tortillas

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | May 17, 2007

Ann's recent review of FlatOut Multi Grain Wraps inspired me to start making some wraps to take with me for lunch. Frankly, I was also getting a bit tired of microwaved meals and I needed something that could be prepared quickly, be healthy, low calorie and filling. Enter my not-yet famous Chicken Tortilla Wraps (the messy wraps shown in the picture).

Thanks to Molly's comments on the FlatOut wraps, I decided to try LaTortilla, so on my next trip to the grocery store I grabbed a pack of the Whole Wheat variety. I made my not-yet-famous wraps in the morning (iwhich took less than 10 minutes) and I had it for lunch. LaTortilla wraps have a slight starchy /wheaty taste. When I used it in a hot sandwich (chicken quesadilla made on the George Foreman grill), this was even less noticeable. I really enjoyed LaTortilla, but I must confess that I might have been influenced by knowing that one wrap is only 80 calories.

The chicken tortilla wraps that I made turned out to be a little over 200 calories each (I cut one in 2 - so there are 2 whole wraps in the picture). There was 60 calories from 1/2 a serving of chicken strips (4 pieces) and 60 calories from 1/2 a serving of shredded cheese.

One 62 gram LaTortilla Factory Whole Wheat Wrap has 80 calories, 3 grams total fat (5% of the recommended daily amount), no saturated fat, 8 grams of protein and 19 grams of total carbohydrates, which includes 1 gram of sugar and 14 grams of fiber which is 56% of the RDA - wowza!

A pack of 8 costs $3.19 and is well worth the money.
