I've tried a few but haven't found one I really like.

Any suggestions?

    The Asda Wholewheat ones are nice - and about 80 calories each if memory serves me well... They are on the smaller side tho, hence the lower calorie value.
    Plus there's that thing about brown bread being better for you than white anyway.

    I really like La Tortilla Factory - Low Carb High Fiber Original Whole Wheat tortilla from their Smart & Delicious line. One tortilla is 50 calories. I had them last week when I made soft tacos and quesadillas. My daughter loved it so I know they are good!

    We get Lynn Wilson's Lite tortillas. I think they are only 100 cals each.

    Never thought about that, I wouldn't know where to start. I might have to look up some recipes thought.

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Going grocery shopping after while and now I have a few options to look for.

    Since I have Celiac's (gluten allergy), I can't eat flour ones. But I found Mission Corn Tortillas, the Yellow Corn Extra Thin are 80 calories per serving & each serving is 2 tortillas :happy:
    I use then when we make quesadillas and also for my hamburger or sandwich "buns": it's a lighter choice, and since it's corn, they fill me up for a while.

    *sigh* couldn't find any of the brands you all listed. I settled for some La Bandarita's that have 89 calories. I'm going to keep looking for the others at some different stores though.
