I picked up a pack of the Ole Mexican Xtreme Wellness! High Fiber Low Carb Tortilla Wraps
from one of my local grocery stores because I’m always in the market for a
tortilla that’s point friendly. I’ve tried the Joseph’s brand and enjoy those
and have tried the Trader Joe’s variety, but the Ole Mexican brand has to be
the largest tortilla (diameter wise) for the least amount of calories/points.
The tortillas are simply a wheat tortilla that’s higher in
fiber and low in carbs. They’re pretty soft and stay pretty soft in the
package. I’ve made turkey wraps and
pastrami wraps on them and I’ve even used them as side to a salad to help scoop
up some of the lettuce. They’re also great to use to make egg & bacon or
egg & sausage wraps for breakfast. I
enjoy the taste of these, it’s not an overwhelming wheat flavor – but I do find
these tortillas are satisfying but they’re not as filling as other tortillas I’ve
tried.
Each tortilla is 90 calories, which is 1 points plus value,
whereas two tortillas are 3 points plus each. They can be relatively pricey
depending on your store, but the 2 local stores that carry them, sell them for
right under the $5 price tag – which I admit is expensive. I can pick up the
Joseph’s tortillas for under $2.
QUESTION:
What is your favorite brand of tortillas on the market?
I wish I could find these--90 calories is a bargain! I usually can find some of the Joseph's products.. one of them is 60 cal. for pita.

Keep up the good work. Your transformation is an inspiration!
I buy a lot of the Joseph's products - wheat flax pitas, tortillas (when I want that texture - it's chewier than the Ole) and their Lavish. Love Joseph's breads but I eat them so often I get bored.
DeleteThank you! I wish you many successes on your journey.
I reluctantly went low carb on my doctor's advice, and am I glad I did. I shed 30 pounds in 30 days and brought both my blood pressure and blood sugar level back to normal -- way good normal. I'm be low-carbing it for life now!
ReplyDeletei just tried these for the first time and I love them. I'm totally loving the texture and taste. Just finished devouring a chicken enchilada and it was just awesome. I think I'm in heaven. lol
ReplyDeleteThey are good tortillas. I enjoy them as much as the Joseph's
DeleteDoes anyone know where to find these? I use to get them at my local Walmart but haven't seen them in awhile. They were awesome!
ReplyDeleteI find them at Shaw's and Stop & Shop. If those are not in your area ask your local Wal-Mart manager to restock - they should
