Let's skip the sandwich. Huh? Why would you want to skip a delicious satisfying sandwich when you can pile all your yummy fillings into a low calorie, low carb, high-protein, high fiber wrap? You wouldn't, and you don't have to. My new favorite thing is a tortilla called Let's Skip The Sandwich. (You thought I was kidding, didn't you? I never kid about food. Never.)
My local store had four varieties of the generous-sized tortillas, including whole wheat, multi-grain, chia seed, and high-fiber. I started with the plain multi-grain, which provides the following nutrients: 60 calories (hardly worth talking about), 2 grams of fat (ditto), 11 grams of carbs (of which 7 are fiber), and 6 grams of protein. I haven't seen counts that impressive in a long time. (No sign of a gluten-free variety, but if they aren't already producing one, it's only a matter of time.)
I warmed mine in the toaster (for a little chewiness), loaded it up with my sandwich fillings o' the day, and folded it in half like a taco. There was more than enough room for all the goodies, AND it didn't fall apart halfway through lunch. They would also make scrumptious warm tacos, wraps, quesadillas (sweet or savory), and pizzas.
So Let's Skip The Sandwich! Look for them in your local grocery store and let me know how you like them.

That I will do! I have enjoyed the FLATOUTS, but STILL have not found the pretzel ones you touted a while back. I w/look at our W/M, but than it w/take a trip Harrisonburg. Always happy to have suggestions. Many thanks
GB, I really like the Flatout wraps too, but they're so big that I always end up cutting them in half, which means I lose half the nutrients. I have to say I like these new tortillas better. Hope you do too!
