See our review and ranking of the most popular low-carb and keto tortillas that you can buy at the store or online!
Some of the best Mexican dishes include tortillas, like quesadillas, enchiladas and tacos. Unfortunately, regular, store-bought tortillas are high in carbs – anywhere from 15 to 20 net carbs per tortilla. Thankfully, more and more brands are now selling low-carb tortillas. Here's a guide to help you with the purchasing process.
What to Consider When Buying Low Carb & Keto Tortillas
If you're on a low-carb or keto diet, here are several things to consider before buying:
- Net carbs: Net carbs are determined by subtracting the grams of fiber and sugar alcohol from total carbohydrates. For most of these tortillas, the number of total carbs is quite high. However, the amount of net carbs is much lower due to the higher fiber and/or sugar alcohol content.
- Ingredients: Be sure to always look at the ingredients, as many of these tortillas may not be appropriate for special diets (like gluten-free or strict keto). That's because many of these low-carb tortillas include wheat flour, modified wheat starch, palm oil, and other ingredients that may not fit into those diets.
- Taste: In terms of flavor, you can find flour, whole wheat, multigrain and more. You should be aware that some tortilla brands have more of an aftertaste (sometimes common in low-carb bread products) than others.
- Cost: The cost of low-carb tortillas can vary depending on where you purchase them. If you get them from a large, local grocer, you’ll likely spend less per pack. Purchasing from Amazon can cost more since you may be required to buy more than one pack at a time (like 6 full packs of tortillas). That can be costly, especially if you decide you don't like them.
- Strict keto? If you follow a strict keto diet, then many of these low-carb tortillas may not be appropriate due to ingredients like wheat flour, modified wheat starch, and certain oils.

2. La Tortilla Factory Flour Low Carb Tortillas
Although La Tortilla Factory's Low-Carb Flour Tortillas aren't as tasty as La Banderita's low-carb tortillas (or even Ole Extreme Wellness and Nutra-Rica tortillas), they're a solid choice for a low-carb tortilla. They're a little bland and have somewhat of a doughy flavor, but they're decent after heating in a pan. Plus, we didn't detect much of aftertaste. Some bloggers also report they have minimal impact on glucose levels (like Quantified Diabetes and Serious Keto reviews; however, everyone's body is different and may react differently).

These Nutri-Ricas low-carb tortillas have a tasty flavor with minimal to no aftertaste. Even if you're not low-carb, you'd probably enjoy the taste of these. However, they're tougher and chewier than others on this list. You can find these at some large grocers (like Kroger) for a decent price. They may not fit a strict keto-diet due to ingredients like modified wheat starch and wheat flour.

5. Mission Carb Balance Soft Taco Flour Tortillas
Mission carb balance flour tortillas are one of the best tasting low-carb tortillas in this review since they taste almost like regular flour tortillas. These tortillas have minimal to no aftertaste and you can now find them at most grocers.
We have some concerns with the ingredients (enriched bleached wheat flour, vegetable shortening, etc.) and there conflicting reports online regarding their glucose response (for example, low-carb blogger Serious Keto reported a spike in glucose levels after eating these.). However, everyone's body is different and may react differently.
Net carbs: 4 grams net carbs (19g total, 15g fiber) per tortilla (43 grams)

6. Mama Lupe Low Carb Tortillas
Mama Lupe tortillas get good reviews from Amazon reviewers and others online. However, in our side-by-side comparison, we found these tortillas to be the sweetest (likely due to sucralose), which was a bit too sweet for us. Also, there is an aftertaste with these tortillas, which is why we rated them lower.
Net carbs: 4 grams net carbs (15g total, 11g insoluble fiber) per tortilla (36 grams - please note smaller size)
Amazon Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars
Ingredients: water, whole wheat flour, low carb flour (wheat gluten, corn starch, oat fiber, soy flour, soy oil, isolated soy protein, sesame flour, salt, calcium sulfate, sodium acid pyrophosphate.

Pros:
- Soft texture
- Okay flavor, but does have an aftertaste
Cons:
- Sweeter in flavor than other brands
- Somewhat strange aftertaste
- Somewhat expensive on Amazon: 2 packs for $19
- May not fit strict keto diets due to ingredients (whole wheat flour, cornstarch, sucralose)
7. La Tortilla Factory Low Carb, Whole Wheat Tortillas
If you're looking for a low-carb wheat tortilla, La Tortilla makes a decent one. Their wheat tortillas are soft with a strong wheat flavor, but do have somewhat of a sour aftertaste. The ingredients don't include any sweeteners (which we prefer) and include expeller pressed oil (which is healthier). You can find these at some large grocers (and online, of course). Just 3 grams of net carbs per tortilla.
Net carbs: 3 grams net carbs (11g total carbs, 8g fiber) per tortilla (36 grams)
Amazon rating: 4.5 out of 5 total stars

8. Tumaro Whole Wheat Tortilla Wraps
Tumaro makes a variety of low-carb tortillas (like multi-grain and sun dried tomato) and their whole wheat tortillas are popular on Amazon. We didn't like these low-carb wheat wraps as much as La Tortilla Factory's wraps since they're somewhat bland and dry. They're also a little higher in net carbs (6 grams net carbs). You can find them on Amazon, but you'll need to buy more than one pack.
Net carbs: 6 grams net carbs (13g total carbs, 7g fiber) per tortilla (40 grams)
Amazon rating: 4.8 out of 5 total stars
Ingredients: Water, whole wheat flour, oat fiber, vital wheat gluten, soy flour, canola oil, calcium propionate, mono-diglycerides, salt, guar gum, lecithin, dried honey powder, potassium sorbate, fumaric acid, natural flavor, xanthan gum, baking powder, enzymes, sodium metabisulfite.
Pros:
- Tastes like a wheat tortilla
- Soft texture
Cons:
- Bland and dry
- Somewhat expensive on Amazon (Pack of 6 each is $33)
- May not fit strict keto diets due to ingredients (whole wheat flour, soy flour, canola oil)
9. Marilla & Ricardo Almond Flour Tortilla
Unlike the other tortillas on this list, these tortillas are made with almond and coconut flour and are gluten-free. The ingredients are almost keto-friendly with the exception of tapioca starch. We found the flavor to be somewhat bland and the texture dry and grainy. However, these tortillas get a favorable rating on Amazon (4.5 out of 5 stars). Unfortunately, we had to order a larger amount from Amazon, which made them more expensive for us.
Net carbs: 4 grams net carbs per tortilla (22 grams - please note smaller size)
Amazon rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Ingredients: almond flour, water, tapioca starch, psyllium fiber, coconut flour, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, xanthan gum
Pros:
- Grain-free, gluten-free
- Decent, quality ingredients; most ingredients keto-friendly except tapioca starch
Cons:
- Grainy, dry texture; easily tears apart
- Bland flavor
- Somewhat expensive on Amazon (4 packs with 6 each is $34)
- May not fit strict keto diets due to ingredients
10. Mr. Tortilla Low-Carb, Multigrain Tortilla Wraps
Although the net carbs are fairly low (2 grams net carbs) in these tortillas, we found the flavor to be somewhat bland with a strange aftertaste. They're also thinner wraps that are a little rubbery in texture. That said, the wraps got a decent rating on Amazon (4.2 out of 5 stars) and there are only 35 calories per tortilla.
Net carbs: 2 grams net carbs (6g total carbs, 4g fiber) per tortilla (19 grams - please note smaller size)
Amazon rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars
Ingredients: Water, oat fiber, vital wheat gluten, organic whole wheat flour, soy bean flour, canola oil, calcium propionate, aluminum free baking powder, salt, mono-diglycerides, lecithin, potassium sorbate, fumaric acid, xanthan gum, guar gum, sodium metabisulfate
Pros:
- Low in calories (35 calories per tortilla)
Cons:
- Bland; strange aftertaste
- rubbery texture; very thin
- May not fit strict keto diets due to ingredients (wheat flour, soy bean flour, canoa oil)

Hi, we use this recipe, and they are great! We use the La Banderita Carb Counter ZERO net carb tortillas. They also are only 20 calories! They are a bit smaller so we make 2 instead of 1! Jack Driscoll
Used them last night for a mini tortilla pizza and it was good! Need to update my post with these zero carb tortillas. Thanks, Jack
It seems that all of these may have an impact on a strict keto diet! Why recommend them?
Since keto dieters follow different types of keto (like lazy keto, high protein keto, keto 2.0), we cover a range of low carb options. Many of the tortillas in this list can easily fit in a keto diet or low carb diet based on the amount of net carbs. However, due to certain ingredients (like modified wheat starch), some strict keto dieters may want to avoid. But not everyone is that particular about ingredients in low carb products. Since we try cover a range low carb and keto diets on this web site, it leaves a rather wide range of options. We, for example, look at the amount of net carbs and are more concerned about the impact to blood sugars. Some of these have little impact on our blood sugars, while others have a larger impact. But everyone is different (and how their body reacts is different as well). It's tricky navigating these products, but we try to describe them as much as we can. However, if you are strict keto, then, yes, many of these tortilla options may not be good for you.
Many low carb keto tortillas and other products contain sucralose. That can definitely raise your blood sugar. Especially in those that are sensitive to it.
Thanks for your feedback. In our review, three brands have sucralose (Mama Lupe, Mission, Nutri-Rica).
There is emerging evidence that nonnutritive sweeteners like sucralose may not be as inert as initially thought. That being said, ultimately the choice of what sweetener to use is a personal choice (as this article from Forbes outlines https://www.forbes.com/health/body/artificial-sweetener-vs-sugar/).
This is one of the reasons in our product reviews that we list out the ingredients. Fortunately, in this review there are several options for those looking to avoid sucralose.
