Mmmm I love Mexican-style food! Fajitas, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas. I love it all. The problem is that these foods are made with tortillas and tortillas are chuck full of carbohydrates. Luckily, there is a way to avoid this. The brand "OLE Mexican Foods" makes "Extreme Wellness" tortillas that are low-carb. On average, there are around 30 grams of carbs in one regular tortilla. These "Extreme Wellness" tortillas have only 5 net carbs per tortilla. Huge difference. You can find these tortillas at regular grocery stores. We buy ours at Walmart.
These "extreme wellness" tortillas taste really good as well. They also come in different flavors. We have tried whole wheat, tomato and basil, and spinach and herb. Our favorite, by far, is the regular old whole wheat but the others aren't bad. They have been a good substitute for our regular tortillas when we cook at home.
