Quote  |  Reply
I just wanted to share that I found these wraps made by a brand "La Tortilla Factory" and besides being yum and the larger ones they are pretty awsome in the nutruion facts as well!

One large wrap is only

 100 cals

3g of fat (made with exta virgin olive oil (no sat fat)

13g of of dietary fiber!!!!!

8g of protien!!! ( not bad for a carb food)

Thought that was pretty good for a wrap/soft tortilla.

where did you find these? like, what store and where?

i've been looking for these but have never found them.

Be aware they are made with high fructose corn syrup -- for those that are sensitive to HFCS.

Gernardi's is the only place I have found them where I live.

I love this stuff too... only 100 cals for a decent sized wrap :D (normally it'd be like 200 cals! with much less protein as well)

As I said, I do love this stuff, but I also find that there is a slight odd aftertaste... has anyone else noticed?

coachk... are you sure they're made with HFCS?? Yikes, I should double check my bag,... cause I remember reading the ingredients, but I don't remember HFCS....
I agree, jamie, they taste odd to me as well.  I've never gotten used to that.  They don't taste like a tortilla, but I suppose a "wrap" is supposed to be slightly different anyway.

They have an odd smell to me as well. 

I can only eat "wraps" if I heat them up first -- I agree there is a funky taste

I love these as well! I found them at a Safeway grocery store.  They do taste a bit different, but I don't really mind.  Try some all natural peanut butter on one and roll it up-makes a great breakfast!

Because of the high fiber content they don't taste like taqueria tortillas, but they are really good on their own right. I double-checked, and they don't contain HFCS. They actually have almost no sugar in them at all. That is part of their "healthy carb" sales pitch.
I don't really eat them as tortillia but rather as wraps, Like I will roast or grill some veggies and eat that on them with some hummus.  I guess I didn't think they tasted odd because of the stuff I put in them???  Oh well I am glad to hear that they really aren't loaded with HFCS...I don't remember reading that on the bag but hey you do REALLY need to read labels.

Just wanted share!

Wow -- then they must have reformulated the recipe, because the package I have clearly says, "high-fructose corn syrup" in the ingredients.  Of course they've been sitting in my fridge for a couple of months now (because I didn't notice that before I bought them)

Well the brand La Tortilla Factory and kind that I am talking about Made with extra virgin olive oil and and whole grain white and oat fiber has no sugar or HRCS in it.  I am looking at the  bag right now so maybe you are talking about a different brand or a different flavor????
They have a lot of varieties.  They are not all made with olive oil, and I suspect the olive oil ones are probably specifically made without HFCS.  They splash it across the front of the package so they're trying to make that a selling point.
Yea that is what I mean.  It is just the kind I was talking about and that maybe other flavors have HFCS.  That is it I am done. I just wanted to share not have a debate.  Eat them if you like them and they are healthy enough for you or don't.  Done.

I tried the La Tortilla factory after I read a post on here, I liked them at first, but was using them in place of a spanish receipe, so I didn't really get the full flavor of the wrap because of all the spices and sabor!  But when tried alone, they were not appettizing, kind of like the Flat-Out wraps.  My favorite thhus far, has been hands down...Josephs lavash Breads, and wraps.  HTey have big rectangle big ones, for wraps or pizza (i make thin crust pizza with them), the whome thing is 100 calories!  Then they have these small pita like ones, that are great as a fluffly tortilla, roti, naan, or pita bread for tuna salad,  They are great, and the ones withthe omega-3 and flax seed are good too, they aren't exspensive at all, and with 60 calories per pita, you can't bea tthat, plus the protein and fiber content is high too!  Try those out!  I got them from a wla-mart not too far form my house, but the other wal-marts dont carry them, so you may have to look around.
