Mission sells these tortillas that are only 25 cals each, but I’m a bit skeptical because 1. They taste so good it’s actually hard to believe they’re just 25 cals, and 2. It says each little tortilla has 7 grams of fiber?!?! Keep in mind these are tiny taco sized tortillas. I feel like there’s no way that’s possible since that means you can get 28g of fiber from just 4 tortillas which is only 100 calories. If that’s the case then why isn’t every constipated person eating these?? I feel like it’s too good to be true.

It’s because the 7g of carbs in each one is made up of indigestible fibers that your body can’t break down, which means you just pass the fiber.
No break down, no calories gained (from the fiber).
I used them for the interior crunchy part of homemade crunchwraps and they came out great.
Not very good imo
They are inedible. You’re better off carbless
I love these little tortillas, regular tortillas taste so dense and too fluffy to me now. It feels like raw dough.
I love all 3 flavors
Love em, love the bigger ones that are like 70 a pop as well
They’re okay, but La Banderita is the best low cal tortilla on the market IMO.
I use these to make breakfast tacos (eggs, an air fried hashbrown patty cut into strips, shredded cheese, green salsa yes basic I know) and they’re fine. They taste a little bit sweet to me which I don’t love but they get the job done
Always use a scale with them. I find they are all over the place in terms of size. I’ve had some weigh in at almost 40 calories and others around 20.
Also… they taste 1,000x better toasted.
They’ve helped me lose weight. Love em
I love them. I like to make mini pizza snacks out of them.
they’re legit. if you like them keep eating them. they were weirdly sweet to me
This is a staple in my pantry. I’ve been buying them and eating them every night for a few months now.
My only gripe is some are way bigger than the others. It’s hilarious how big and small some are. For that reason, I can’t believe the bigger ones are not slightly more calories.
I use them and love them. Both this size and the bigger size which is like 70 calories each.
Yes – although I can’t speak to the actual “healthiness” of them. They’ve become a staple in my eating habits so I sure as shit hope not!
The more ingredients the less healthy though, unfortunately
Yes. But if you’re also doing keto, they will not serve you well. They do seem too good to be true both calorie & carb wise, but I definitely feel like they mess me up on keto more than cico.
Much prefer mi rancho thin
I eat them folded over with a little cream cheese and a bread & butter pickle stacker slice inside. My boyfriend is totally grossed out but it’s a favorite snack for me.
It’s a trade off. 1 real one vs 2 semi real ones. I like getting the fiber. I also like the real ones. If you want to eat a lot of volume they are great.
i eat them alllll the time. they’re a staple for me now so i’m sooooo happy to see that there are so many people in the comments who are fans. they’re good toasted as well!
– snack rolls with random ingredients
– mini pizzas
– toasted (plain or with whatever dip)
– tacos & quesadillas obviously
– heated up with avocado spread
I love these soooo much. Toast 4 of them, break up an egg with melted cheese, top with hot sauce, you got breakfast tacos at 57 cal each
I use these for soooo many meals they are my staple!

Thank god calorimetry and chemistry aren’t based on “vibes”.
Wish they made gluten free and zero carb versions but that’s pretty much impossible I guess
love them but the fiber kills my insides LOL
Yes
