Enjoy with your favorite wraps and soft taco fillings. Real corn often adds flavor to an authentic Mexican dish, and this recipe is no exception - but without all the carbs.

Ingredients:

3/4 Cup Carb Counters™ Low Carb Corn Muffin Mix
1 Large or extra-large Egg white (approximately 1/4 cup)
2 Teaspoons Oil
1/4 -to 1/3 Cup Water
1/4 Teaspoon Salt (optional)

Turn a burner to medium high on your stove and lightly coat a skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Preheat the skillet on stove while making the tortilla batter.

Mix corn muffin mix, egg, oil (and salt if using) together. Add 1/4 cup water (and, if needed for pancake-like spreading consistency, add a couple tablespoons more.) Spoon a couple tablespoons full of batter in the center of the hot skillet, and with a spoon, spread the batter out to make a 6" wide tortilla.

Cook the tortilla briefly, flip, and cook for a half minute on flipped side. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Cook's tip: You may add slightly more water, if desired, to just let the tortilla spread itself out like a regular pancake.

Makes 5, 6" corn tortillas, 3 net carbs each.

Store leftover tortillas in zip lock bag or covered container in fridge for up to 1 week.
