La Tortilla Factory Whole Wheat Low Carb Low Fat Tortillas Review

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 La Tortilla, 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 (which took less than 10 minutes) and I had it for lunch. La Tortilla 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 La Tortilla, 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.
