Found tortillas with ideal macros!

[maximum451]

I found these tortillas today at my local Safeway.

40% protein, 36% fat and 24% net carbs. I loaded one up today with chik'n, avocado, tomato and hummus and had an excellent lunch for under 500 calories with 32g protein and 15g fiber. The wrap was delicious: I have absolutely no complaints about the taste or texture.

If anyone here is following a 40/40/20 macro profile, or just looking for a tortilla that isn't a calorie graveyard, I thought this might be of interest

@maximum451 These things are fantastic! I make soy tacos with them all the time

@maximum451 Trader Joe's has them too!

@maximum451 Any info on the l-cysteine?

Also do they actually taste ok? I don't necessarily need my store-bought wheat tortillas to taste good because they're there as a vehicle and not flavor, but, y'know, I would like them not to taste bad.

@amandalp717 I haven't contacted them directly, but they state that their products are Kosher certified:

A kosher parve certification from Kosher Overseers of America promises that the La Tortilla Factory manufacturing plant has been inspected by a trainer Rabbi who verifies and that our manufacturing facility and our products meet all the requirements for Kosher certification.

To my knowledge, only synthetic l-cysteine gets this certification.

As for the taste, I've only had one so far, but it was delicious! I will be trying again today and edit my comment to give a second opinion

edit: Today's wrap was also delicious. Tofurky smoked deli slices, spinach, hummus and avocado. Racked up 20g protein and 14g fiber for 280 calories, and more protein than net carbs

@maximum451 Neat. How big are they? Like 8" or 12"?

 

[maximum451]

@amandalp717 I think it's about 8". It doesn't specify on the packaging, but it's not quite burrito size. The only complaint is that they're not big enough to wrap all the stuff I want to put in them, but I may try wrapping two together

 

[amandalp717]

@maximum451 Ah, that's unfortunate. The only reason I like traditional wheat tortillas is for wraps and 8" isn't enough for much.

@dawn16 This is /r/veganfitness, we should have no GI problems with fiber.

@maximum451 Did you check with the company to see if the l-cysteine is vegan? It is usually derived from hog hair.
