Tortillas, to me, really are the only sane breading product. I have always despised sliced bread and its ridiculous serving information produced for- ONE SLICE of bread! Who eats just one slice of bread?!? Tortillas on the other hand are what they are- a serving of bread, and their serving size reflects that. A tortilla wrapper would never say- serving size, half of a tortilla!

ANYWAY, I don’t know if I have mentioned it before on the blog but I happen to work at a sandwich shop and so I have had and made many a sandwich wrap. Today for dinner I tried the Flat Out wraps with delicious results!

The Flat Out! Tortillas are ingenious in their design. Of course it is wonderful that they are low- carb and the light version I had was very filling as well as delicious. Their “flat out” design is what I am really attracted to though as an on the go student. Working at the sandwich shop wrapping up a sandwich, I have come to acknowledge, is a delicate art form. Completed correctly a delicious sandwich results, however produced incorrectly a sloppy and uneven mess is often the product. The Flat Out oblique shape makes wrapping much easier than the other typical 12″ tortillas.

*Tip: Fold in the sides first! That’s how you create those handy pockets! After folding the sides in slightly then roll the tortilla up.

I made a Southwestern-y Chicken wrap for dinner with the Flat Out Wrap and it was so easy! You’d be shocked how many great leftovers can be wrapped up in one of these tortillas! Last night my family and I had Knorr Sides Southwestern Plus ( which was very yummy) and grilled chicken with veggies. So tonight I took some of the rice a piece of the chicken tenderloin torn up and some swiss cheese popped it int he middle of the tortilla placed it on a plate and popped the whole thing in the microwave for thirty seconds. The end result- a yummy cheesy chicken and rice wrap. A great way to get rid of those random left overs huh? : )

Here is what some other reviewers have thought of the wraps:

• I.Ate.A.Pie.Net reviewed the multi-grain variety of the Flat Out wraps. This review not only gives a positive review of the multi grain variety but also has lots of recipe ideas.

• Low Carb Friends has a great thread going on their discussion board about the wraps and different recipes for using them, as well as different stores where they can be found ( I found mine in my Walmart Supercenter near the deli.)

I really enjoyed my sandwich and I hope that you try and the wraps and invent a fun wrap from leftovers in your fridge. I gave this product four stars because I thought the taste of the bread alone was kind of bland. Then again I did try the light version. Topped with my chicken, rice, and cheese mixture the combo was great!
