WHERE TO BUY WHOLE GRAIN TORTILLA .THANKS
MICHAEL
Michael, You can buy whole grain wraps in most major supermarket chains and marts and use those instead of tortillas. You may also use corn tortillas. Do not use white flour tortillas.
There is a great 1 point tortilla….its made by Ole and is called Extreme Wellness
