La Banderita Carb Counter Flour Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, pliable flour tortillas designed with a focus on reduced carbohydrate content. They are made from a blend of ingredients that aim to provide the familiar taste and texture of traditional flour tortillas while offering a lower net carbohydrate count per serving. This makes them a suitable option for those monitoring their carbohydrate intake.
How people cook with it
These tortillas are versatile for creating a variety of quick meals and snacks.

To best enjoy their texture, gently warm these tortillas before serving. You can do this by placing them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 to 30 seconds per side, until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, a quick zap in the microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, will achieve a similar result. Once warmed, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients for wraps, folded into quesadillas, or used as a base for mini pizzas.

How to keep the rest

Storing them in their original packaging with any clips or ties, or transferring them to an airtight container or resealable bag, will help preserve their softness for future use.
