I must first begin with telling you that I love tortillas. I have eaten corn tortillas so often growing up that I was sick of them. Sick! I still use flour tortilla’s quite often in my own cooking now though. I like to try different brands because I’m looking for healthy and tasty. So when La Tortilla Factory contacted me and asked me to do a review I said I would love to.

They arrived much faster than I ever expected them to. I opened up the corn tortilla’s and served them to my children and took a bite of one as I was making it. And I couldn’t’ stop. We ate them as a meal until they were gone. I think I got three meals out of them. We had ham and cheese and then we had steak and cheese. Yumm.

Hand Made Style Corn Tortillas are available in Yellow Corn, White Corn and Chipotle flavors, these corn tortillas are the first of their kind to be nationally available and offer a unique blend of corn and wheat. The flavor we tried was the yellow corn. I can’t wait until I find the chipotle flavor. This authentic corn tortilla product is soft and flexible – attributes not often associated with corn tortillas and are perfect for grilled chicken, fish or veggies. I did find that it was extremely soft and moist. They are available for a suggested retail price of $1.99-2.49 for an 8-tortilla pack, these premium tortillas contain 90 calories, 14 grams of whole grains, no hydrogenated oils and 0 grams trans fat.

We were also sent a bag of
