    Yes I know these are the ones I use too! La Tortilla Facotry Smart and Delicious right? I LOVE them. I heat mine up in the stove so they are not soggy when I add all my toppings...

    tortillas are stupid easy to make at home; not only are they cheaper, you can control the fat/salt content easily, or alter to 100% wheat.

    google a recipe. personally, i think the key is letting the dough rest for as long as possible. it makes for a more "elastic" tortilla.

    These are the ones that I've been using forever! They're awesome! Kicks my fiber right up without having to sacrafice calories. I stuff mine with grilled chicken, peppers and onions. I love fat free sour cream on it! YUM!!!!!

    La Tortilla also has low carb whole wheat wraps, the small ones only have 50 calories and they are awesome as well. I use them for everything

    Those are definitely great. I also recommend Flatout flatbread. The light ones are 90 cal.

    I second this! I made a heap of tortillas this weekend. I am pretty sure they cost around... $2 for about 18 of them. And they are delicious and actually pretty fun to make.

    It isn't AS fast as going to the store to buy them, but it was fun! My boyfriend ate the last fancy spouted Ezekiel wrap that we had in the fridge and complained that it wasn't nearly as tasty as the ones we made. Making them was probably even less than the $2 I estimated: a few cups of flour, a bit of oil, a bit of salt and some water. I am guessing the oil I used was the most expensive part.

    Have fun!

    I buy the "Mission" brand small fajita wraps. Mostly because they're easy to account for at 100 calories each and tasty.

    I fill them with some shredded 2% mexican four cheese blend, some grilled chicken breast, tomatoes marinated with cilantro and chipotle hot sauce, and a teaspoon of fat free sour cream. Two of those fills my stomach up nicely and come in at under 400 calories for lunch.

    I love La Tortilla Factory wraps made with EVOO. 130 cals, and a small amount of (heart healthy) fat, but they have 12 grams of fiber and are soooo good!

    i just made some this afternoon, in fact!

    1c unbleached white flour (i prefer unbleached)
    1c whole wheat flour
    2tsp vegetable oil (seriously, you do need it)
    3/4c milk
    1tsp salt
    1.5tsp baking powder


    mix dry ingredients together, make a well, add wet ingredients, knead until it feels nice and elastic.

    allow dough to sit for at least 20m but as long as you can afford

    separate into 8 balls of dough, cover with damp cloth and roll out as thin as you can with a rolling pin using flour only to keep it from sticking to the board.

    cook on a dry skillet (i use cast iron) for about 1m on each side. serve warm or freeze. makes 8 tortillas.

    you can season the tortillas, too.. with chili powder, herbs, sun dried tomatoes, peppers, whatever.. just make sure everything is minced.

    if you want to lighten the load (145cals appx) you could probably sub the oil w/ yogurt or something, but these are good calories and i ate a burrito this afternoon with leftovers from dinner last night and i'm still stupidly satisfied. so there's something to be said for that.
