Guilt Free Tortillas?
Everybody loves Mexican food right?
But eating Mexican food is riddled with guilt.
Why is this?
Well…because of the carbs from the tortillas.
It’s the tortillas!!!!
But that is not the case anymore, because Mr. Tortilla has made guilt-free 1 carb tortillas available to the masses. Not only is it guilt-free, but it is also delicious!
Now everyone can enjoy great Mexican food guilt-free with Mr. Tortilla One Carb Tortilla.
About Mr. Tortilla
A little bit about Mr. Tortilla…
Mr. Tortilla was founded in July of 2020 by Anthony and Ronald Alcazar in San Fernando California. They were looking to make a healthy and affordable tortilla for the masses.
Mr. Tortilla also makes wonderful traditional flour tortillas as well their 1-Carb tortillas which is a big hit with the low-carb and keto communities.
I just finished a review of the big brother to the 1 Carb Tortilla, the Mr. Tortilla O.B.A.D. Tortillas has 11 Net Carbs and is huge. You can read about it here Mr. Tortilla OBAD Tortilla Review.
Now Everyday Can Be Taco Tuesday
Woohoo!!!
There is plenty of reason to be excited about these tortillas. They come in two flavors, multi-grain and Pico de Gallo.
They come in a pack of 24 tortillas and are around $5 a pack.
When you first get the tortillas, you might be shocked by how small they are. I know I was, but don’t be discouraged, you will quickly adapt to their size. Trust me.
Other Non-Traditional Uses
Think outside the box!
Not only is it good for Mexican foods as traditionally it is, you can also you it for a bread substitute.
- When cooking Bratwurst and you want some type of bun the 1-Carb Tortilla makes an excellent bun. Plus it won’t ever break on you.
- Hotdogs
- Lasagna
- Can easily make sandwiches with it. Use two tortillas for a top and bottom bread substitute and add your favorite meat, peanut butter, jelly, or condiment, and you are done.
- Grilled cheese sandwiches.
- Mini-wraps.
- Make your own tortilla chips.
- Very flexible tortilla.
- Small homemade pizzas.
Positives & Negatives
Pos
- Just 15 Calories!!!! This is quite amazing compared to other tortillas.
- You can eat 10 TACOs and just have 10 Net Carbs!!!!
- 1 Net Carb per tortillas.
- Keto-friendly
- Organic and non-GMO flour.
- 100% Vegan
- Low Salt
- OU Kosher Certified
- They come in different flavors as well as multigrain, and pico de gallo.
- Can be fried, heated, or un-heated. Of course fried taste the best and the best texture.
- The price seems reasonable, as I am willing to pay up for a low-carb alternative.
- Mr. Tortilla donates to a bunch of charities.
- Check out their website they have some great recipes.
- Sign up on their website to receive regular deals and sales, it is really worth signing up.
- They come in a resealable bag to keep them fresh longer after opening them.
Neg
- Smaller than a traditional taco roughly 4 inches in diameter. You’re going to have to get used to putting less on the 1 carb tortilla.
- Let be perfectly honest here, not going to taste better than a fried traditional corn tortilla, but it does still taste good.

Some Tips
One big tip I have is to order takeout from a Mexican restaurant say for dishes like fajitas or tacos and throw away the tortilla given by the restaurant and substitute with 1-Carb Tortilla from Mr. Tortilla. Thereby still enjoying the meal guilt-free. You could even dare I say it, smuggle Mr. Tortilla 1 Carb Tortilla into the Mexican restaurant.
Don’t forget the many other ways of using the tortillas and substitute these for bread. I post a bunch of ways to avoid high carb foods above.
For the ultimate in taste, I fry them in a healthy oil like REAL Olive Oil. Check out my page, How To Tell If Your Olive Oil Is Real. 50% of olive oil is fake!!! I recommend a company that sells real olive oil and has it routinely tested otherwise you don’t know what you are getting.
Also, sign up on their website, as they routinely send out emails with deals and coupon codes. Take advantage of these. So you can save even more money. It is really worth it.

I love tortillas, so I was happy to read this article by Mr. Tortilla One Carb Tortilla Review. Thanks for all the interesting information about this product. I was also a little surprised by the size, but as you say, you quickly get used to such a size, and I believe they can be combined with any meal ideas.
I like your other non-traditional uses, I got some great ideas! Thanks!
Friendly greeting,
Nina
Yeah, the size is quite a bit small than I am used to, but as you mentioned, you quickly become accustomed to the smaller size and hopefully help me eat less too. Hopefully!! Tacos are so hard to just quit after a few of them. Lol
Mr. Tortilla is So good! These are a delicious- keto friendly option. We have been using them for burritos, wraps, and quesadillas. I was wondering if I can freeze Mr tortilla? Can the tortillas be frozen? Yes, the tortillas can be frozen for up to one year! That’s so cool!
Yes, you can freeze Mr. Tortillas. I have frozen many a tortilla over the years. They keep pretty well and is a great way to prolong their shelf life.
Hello there! Oh wow, I had no idea something like this exists today! I have always known tortillas to be heavy on carbohydrates but wow, there is a brand that is only 1 carbs (or 15 calories)? You mentioned that it doesn’t taste as great as a full carb one but I think I can probably get by with it because it is the meats, veggies, and seasonings that one adds to it that provide the most flavor for me. Thanks for introducing this brand.
Your exactly right Mike, the spices and meat and veggies can overwhelm everything else in a taco. You don’t really notice when eating it. A great way to have low carbs but enjoy Mexican food.
Yummy, I am celiac and like your article, not only for saving on calories, but for the great recipes you share too. Allow me to add that food is not only about calories or carbs but about the kind of carbs we eat. Carbs containing gluten are the worst and the world overconsumes. But corn flour, if taken in reasonable amounts, is not bad at all.
Karin, thanks for the knowledge drop, yeah corn is good if balanced. I haven’t yet cut gluten-totally out of my daily diet but plan on it in the future. Any other advice on a gluten diet? Thanks for the comment.
Hmm, I hadn’t really thought about the carbs in a tortilla before. Good to see the photos of the two different package labels and the nutrition information broken out.
We do go through a considerable amount of tortillas and flatbreads in our home, so it would be nice to try these out to see if we prefer them to the regular versions that we usually buy. Thank you for sharing.
You definitely gotta try em out for sure. Especially, if you are trying to cut back on the ole carbs like I am constantly. I’ve been religiously checking the nutrition facts lately and putting them on all my web posts when appropriate.
Hi, I’ve just gone through your article review product of Mr. Tortilla one Carb.

Thanks for sharing this interesting review and I’ll also share it too.
Kokoatala, yeah I order fajitas and often replace the tortillas with Mr. Tortilla 1 carb tortilla, glad you found some low salt alternative too. Thanks for the comment and share.
