Wrap on a Healthier Cinco de Mayo

Posted on by Meredith

While Cinco de Mayo is best enjoyed with festive foods, there’s no reason for the fiesta to weigh you down. And, when it comes to tortillas and wraps, there’s no topping the traditional taste and better-for-you profile of La Tortilla Factory wraps and tortillas:

NEW! Smart & Delicious Fiber and Flax Corn Tortillas – Corn tortillas are naturally gluten free and are the traditional original. Easy-to-use, La Tortilla Factory’s new Fiber & Flax corn tortillas come packed with traditional flavor, as well as the added health benefits of fiber and flax. Available in white corn, yellow corn and multigrain, they’re only 45 calories each and packed with 20 grams of whole grains.

Check out the Rotisserie Chicken with Smoked Cheddar Quesadilla recipe below.

Hand Made Style Tortillas – Another twist on traditional tortillas, the Hand Made Style offer a ‘fresh from the kitchen taste’ with a creative, unique blend of corn and wheat. These tortillas have a soft, flexible texture with a delicious corn taste, plus they are packed with 14 grams of whole grains, only 90 calories per tortilla. Available in Yellow Corn, White Corn and Chipotle flavors in the perfect size for making fajitas and quesadillas.

Smart & Delicious 100 Calorie tortillas – Instead of grabbing a bag of high calorie and high sodium tortilla chips, pick up our 100 Calorie tortillas and make your own.  Simply coat as many tortillas as you’d like with cooking spray, stack them up and cut them into wedges.  Place them on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and bake at 350°F until light brown and crisp.  Pair these chips with a homemade tomato salsa for a better-for-you spin on this timeless, traditional classic.

Viva Mexico!
