Low Carb Tortillas
What it is
These are soft, pliable flatbreads designed for those following a low-carbohydrate diet. They are made with alternative flours and binders to achieve a texture similar to traditional wheat tortillas while significantly reducing the net carbohydrate count. Their flexibility makes them suitable for wrapping and folding without breaking. They offer a way to enjoy familiar dishes with fewer carbohydrates.
