In Weigh****cher lingo, these are ZERO point foods. For me, they are delicious and filling. i wrapped my 2 ounces tuna, lettuce and onions in one today and couldn't fini****

The La Tortilla factory has many others, which I haven't tried, since I'm pretty hooked already on the garlic and herb version.  I picked these up at my local grocer.

I just checked out their website.  That is an awesome find.  I am still months away from such pleasures as my surgeon doesn't want me to eat any bread, rice, pasta, tortillas etc for 6 months, but I can dream lol.

I am not allowed bread or rice only. Do tortillas count as bread?

I was discouraged from having white bread (and rice) as well as "heavy" whole grain breads.  As a new post-op, these things can sit like a brick in your new pouch, make you miserable, and not allow you to get sufficient protein.  However, I was told it was okay to eat half a slice of a high protein, high grain bread. well toasted (which makes it less able to absorb moisture and become that ugly brick!). 

This is just my opinion, but according to my plan, 1/2 of the tortilla I describe would be been acceptable.  I might have tried spraying it with Pam and putting it on a hot griddle to "toast" it.

For us long timers, this is really a good find - I think.

I'm four months out and have recently added low carb wraps to my diet. I only use half and rarely fini**** As an occasional treat for when I really want some 'bread' it is really helpful. I have been toasting them by holding htem with tongs right over the open flame of my stove. filled with tuna, yum. I'd love to add lettuce but that doesn't sit well with me. Tomato and onion. I've even done a chicken quesadilla.

To store them since they will spoil before I can finish them - I cut them in half, layered two pieces of waxed paper between each piece and froze them in a ziploc bag. You really need the two pieces of wax paper or they stick.

If I can find the low carb tortillas I'll do the same.

Wow. I have never seen you endorse anything before Ann. They must be worth checking out. 

I have always respected your opinions and your advice is always appreciated.
