Low Carb Tortillas at Costco

I just found these La Tortilla brand low carb Tortillas at Costco this weekend.

18 total carbs- 12 fiber = 6 net carbs. Has anyone tried these with any success?

See attached pics.

This is really the only kind of "bready" object we ever have and I use them for steak or chicken quesadillas or pizza crust and occasionally a soft taco or two. Hubby and I are both maintaining and they don't seem to effect us negatively. I usually only have one, he has two or three.

They taste good and have a long shelf life but I always keep them in the freezer as we don't go thru them very fast at all.

Yep, they are big. I overstuff them with steak & cheese for a quesadilla and I only eat one.

And you're right the price is good @ Costco. It's a couple of dozen, right?

Yes, it is a huge package. I'll freeze them like you suggested after I buy them.

6 "net" carbs if you count your carbs that way.

I don't net. I'm maintaining and 18 total works for me.

ETA: I have made breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs, meat and cheese in these also.
They are yummy.

Jamba, which Costco did you find this at? My closest one, on the 91 freeway in Yorba Linda, doesn't have them. I wouldn't mind making a field trip, though!

You can go to the service counter and they'll check the inventory which shows which locations carry the item.
