I ran out of low carb tortillas and was hunting for low carb flat bread recipes last week. I found several to try but I needed to buy ingredients for all of them. I am stocked up now but it is too hot to cook (and I am not really in the mood to cook LOL) so I will work on them later.
I have been using low carb tortillas for bread the last few months. They are made by La Banderita and called Soft Tacos, 8 in a pack for $2.43 and the only low carb brand available around here.
They are 4 net carbs, thinner than regular tortillas and have a yucky yeasty dough taste that is sometimes hard to get past. They also rip and tear very easily so my wraps fall apart and I usually have to eat them with a knife and fork.
I was surprised but WM only had one package of them left in the store Wed which turned out to be a good thing.
When I was at the deli I glanced down at the breads and discovered a flat bread called Flatout. These things are thin like a regular tortilla, don't tear easily and taste like real bread!! WM had them in Light Original - 6 net carbs, 0 sugar; or Healthy Grain - 8 net carbs and 1g sugar. I snagged both but have found out there are many other varieties available.
There are 6 in a pack for $2.88 so they are a little pricier however it works out better. The soft tacos are round and have too much left over dough for me. The flat breads are large ovals and easily cut in half for two slightly smaller wraps. The wraps also turn out nice enough to serve to company and have such great flavor. I am hooked:)
This reviewer mentions a sun-dried tomato variety which I am hoping to find:

Go to their website and see more varieties. They even have flat bread crisps. There are also recipe ideas. It looks great as pizza dough. You can order direct through the company. They have a lot of varieties that look like they would be tasty.

They also have a new, thicker "Fold It" wrap that is great for burgers. This is their Atkins approved list for low carbers:
