La Banderita CarbCounter Flour Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made from wheat flour. They are designed to have fewer carbohydrates than traditional flour tortillas, making them a choice for those watching their carb intake. The texture is pliable and slightly chewy, suitable for wrapping or folding around fillings. They are pre-cooked and ready to be warmed or used as is.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are versatile for quick meals and snacks. They serve as a base for many popular dishes.
- Wraps for lunch
- Quesadillas
- Taco shells
- Burritos
To enhance their pliability and flavor, gently warm the tortillas before using them. You can do this by heating them for a few seconds on each side in a dry skillet over medium heat. Alternatively, wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 30 seconds until warm and soft. Be careful not to overheat, as this can make them brittle. Once warm, they are ready to be filled and enjoyed.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard flour tortillas, these CarbCounter versions have a significantly lower net carbohydrate count per serving. This is often achieved through the use of specific ingredients and processing methods that alter the carbohydrate profile of the dough.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, reseal it tightly to maintain freshness. Store the remaining tortillas in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before warming to ensure the best texture.
