Spinach Tortilla

If you are trying to cut back on your carbohydrates but can’t imagine giving up your favorite sandwiches, try exchanging a healthy tortilla for those sandwich breads, buns, rolls or hoagies. These Spinach Flour Tortillas make great wraps with lean meats, cheese and veggies inside a lovely green-speckled tortilla. Each tortilla contains 94 calories, only 15 grams of carbohydrates and are low in saturated fat. With only 5-6 ingredients and about 30 minutes of time, you can make your own healthy tortillas at home. There are no trans fats, sugars, preservatives or other artificial ingredients in these yummy flat breads. Roll them as thin as you like and add your own variations to spice things up. For more fiber and nutrients, you can exchange half of the white flour for whole wheat flour. These may also lend themselves well to being gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. Although I have not tried this, I imagine it would work pretty well.
