A low-carb tortilla is a type of wheat tortilla and has as few as 3 grams of net carbohydrates per tortilla (about 1/5 the amount found in a regular flour tortilla), and is high in dietary fiber.[1][2] This compares to approximately 13 grams of net carbohydrates in one slice of bread.[3] Low-carb tortillas are useful as a tortilla or bread substitute for people following a low-carb diet for weight loss or a low-carb diabetic diet. The tortillas are available in whole wheat or white flour, and in taco, fajita, and burrito sizes. Some popular brands are Mission Carb Balance tortillas, La Tortilla Factory low carb tortillas, and Mama Lupe's.
