La Tortilla Factory low carb tortilla's
 

I recently purchased the whole wheat and the garlic and herb tortillas and I like them.

I made taco's which were good - I fried the tortillas and they browned nicely and held up when I filled them with my favorite things.

I also made quesadillas oh how I love them and they were also really good.

I like them both flavor wise equally and think that if I had skills to make any sort of wrap sandwich I would definately use these. They were cheap I paid I think $2.99 per bag and you get 10 in a bag.

The cool part is that they also give you the effective carb count - when I first looked at the bag it read as 12g of carbs :eek: and I said OMG I just ate 2 of them. Then I read further and they actually were 12g minus 9g of fiber so that left 3g total.

Any recipe ideas?

I bought a bunch of them once, I loved them but they're way too expensive to get here.

I used them as pizza crust, piled on tuna salad, chicken salad, roast beef and swiss cheese etc., (not all at once!) and rolled them up, made bean burritos using Eden Organic black soy beans, that's all I can think of right now.

I have made all of those things, wraps and quesadillas and the like, but the most fun thing I ever made with these is a Torta Rustica, an Italian type cheese and vegetable pie in many layers.

I used the tortillas on the bottom, sides, top and between layers, in a large springform pan. The layers were made of ricotta, parmesan, spinach and eggs. Garlic, nutmeg, fresh ground black pepper were the main seasonings.

Delicious and fun, and very suitable for a special family potluck. Everybody loved it, including me. Made 12 HEARTY servings. Used 4-5 tortillas total (can't remember how many layers I ended up with.

PS: these tortillas are available in Canada, check out the LowCarb Co-op forum, 1 package is very expensive but the discounts make them very do-able if more are bought at one time, which also spreads out in-Canada shipping costs... and the price hasn't changed despite the dollar fluctuations (ahem, DROPS) since last September.

Where do you buy them? I live in vancouver and I don't know where I can find them or if I have to order online.

Duchesse, as far as I know they are only available online or mail-order in Canada, through my tiny little company service, LowCarb FoodExperts Canada.

Received mine today and looking forward to trying them...
...I ordered the garlic & herb variety and they sure smell great! Nice texture, too.

I think I'll use them for quesadillas for sure, and as the wrap for a sandwich they look perfect.

I've been thinking about trying them out. DW do they taste as good as they smell?

I picked up a few packages of the wheat variety and I must say they are really good. I have used them as wraps for sandwiches, for LC tacos, and for pizza crusts.

I keep one pack in the fridge and a couple in the freezer for when I want something a little different.

Where do you get these in the US? I am in PA and these sound excellent. Can you get them at a store or do they have a website?

Thanks!

He tried them...
 

and he loved them!

Yum! Made quesadillas with them last night...mexican cheese, chunks of grilled chicken, mushrooms, red pepper and scallions. brushed the tortillas with some olive oil and grilled them. Tasted excellent! :thup:

The texture is very good, smell is great and they're visually appealing. I'm looking forward to trying them for wrap sandwiches or as a pizza base.

Just FYI, I ate 3 with dinner (with salad) and that was plenty.

fern2340, you can order them online from netrician.com (click the link for LOW CARB MEGA STORE in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Super fast service (3 days) and everything I've ordered has been well packed.

Enjoy, everyone!
