I bought mission life balance whole wheat. They sold me with the name. It has one more carb than the flour low carb. I figured the whole wheat should be better.

    I like the Aztec brand, 2 for 150 calories. They are not the lowest calorie option but they taste GREAT. Most of the low carb/low fat/low calorie versions just taste like feet!
    The Aztec are also quite a bit bigger, so don't only compare calories, also compare how much you are getting

    How do you use those for tacos w/out them cracking and having the bottom fall completely apart? I always use flour b/c of that problem, but I would really prefer to lower the calorie count!

    I just get mission corn tortillas. They're great for fajitas, crisp up great in the oven as enchiladas and you could even try making your own tortilla chips - I keep meaning to do it!

    These are my favorites... and with a little PAM and 10 minutes in the oven, they make GREAT tortilla chips.
