Hungry Girl Today: 10.01.09
Atten-TION! It's time for another installment of... Hungry Girl Salutes! Here
we celebrate guilt-free foods that rock our world in many ways. And the food
item du jour? La Tortilla Factory's Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber
Large Tortillas! Yay!!!
What Are They?
La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber Large Tortillas
PER SERVING (one tortilla): 80 calories, 3g fat, 300mg sodium, 18g carbs,
12g fiber, 1g sugars, 8g protein -- POINTS® value 1*
"Healthy, hearty and TASTE GREAT! Each tortilla only contains [6 effective]
carbs, making them ideal for any low carb diet, or perfect as a healthy bread
substitute." That is music to our fiber-craving ears. (Why do our ears crave
fiber? Don't ask.) These tortillas are beyond perfect for whipping up all our
Mexican-inspired treats -- quesadillas, wraps, burritos, etc. -- and so much
more! We keep a pack or two in our fridge at all times. (They stay nice and
fresh there.)
Why We Love Them
* Each tortilla has -- are you ready for this? -- almost half the fiber you need
in a day. We flipped the first time we saw this, and we're still in awe today.
Way to pack it in, tortilla-people!
* It's no secret that we're protein fans, and these have a lot. Eight grams in
a bread swap? And that's before you even add anything to this flat piece of
goodness! You're well on your way to a VERY nutritious meal.
* The packaging says it all: LARGE. We like our tortillas big so that we can
load 'em up with veggies, light cheeses, and lean meats. These bad boys
don't let us down. And they still manage to fit perfectly in a standard skillet
for making toasty quesadillas!
* They're pretty easy to find! They are stocked at many, many markets, so
click here to find a location near you. Or you can get 'em sent straight to
your doorstep by ordering your tortillas online. It's what all the cool kids are
doing these days (or so we hear).
Tortilla Tip!
Slightly warm your tortilla by microwaving it for about 10 seconds before
stuffing it with your favorite fillings. Doing so will make it easier to work with,
and it'll also taste better!!
Lifestyles of the Round and Guiltless
They can often be found hanging out in local hot spots: OVENS. One of our
favorite tricks is turning these tortillas into instant thin-crust pizza bottoms!
Just pop one on a baking sheet and into the oven at 375 degrees -- bake
until crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Try it out with our Crispy White Pizza,
a 200 Under 200 exclusive!
They are excellent (and frequent) breakfast guests. Whether it's an
appearance in an AM quesadilla (like our Nice to See Ya! Quesadilla), a
cameo in our Starbucks b-fast swap (Spinach, Tomato, Feta 'n Egg Wrap
Attack), or a starring role in our McSkillet Burrito swap, these tortillas love to
get down at dawn!
They're major WRAP stars. Notable hits include Girl on Grill Veggie Wraps,
The Cheeseburger Chomp, and Ultimate Supreme Pizza Pocket. In other
words? Take these tortillas and roll things up inside of them.
Mexi-licious Recipe Round-Up
These tortillas are so low-cal, we feel pretty good about stuffing and
smothering them with cheese, sauce, and other awesome, Mexican-inspired
things. Taco Bell, meet your match...
Crunchtastic Supreme - How do we choose between this swap (of the beefy
version) and our Spicy Chicken Crunchtastic Supreme?! (Ahem, we don't.
We make both.)
Cheesy-Good Chicken Quesadillas - This swap is so simple, you'll regret all
those times you bought the other version.
Quesadilla Blast Salad - Yes, you can have a salad and a quesadilla at the
same time. It's called "balance," people.
Cheesy Beefy Supreme Wrap - Not beef-based, as one might naturally
assume. It's all soy crumbles in this fast food swap!
Hungry for More Tortilla Action?!
Then you reeeeeeally need to check out Chapter 7 of Hungry Girl 200 Under
200, a.k.a. Tortilla Madness! One of our favorite recipes in there? The too-
