Tortillas low in WW points updated in 2023 (2024)

Are you asking yourself that question? I have tons of times, but I didn’t want to go through the trouble to find the answer…until now…

As I tried to make recipes more WW friendly for my meal plans, I used to try to steer away from using tortillas, because if you use the wrong tortilla, it can sometimes mean doubling or tripling the number of Points for a recipe. Depending on the brand, size, and ingredients used, one tortilla can be anywhere from 1 WW Point to 12 WW Points. Because I didn’t want to suggest a tortilla that most people could not purchase, I just shied away from them to be safe.

The problem is I really wanted to share a smothered chicken burrito recipe with you, so I had to get over it and nail down some tortillas I can suggest…and that is where this list comes in…

Chances are, if you clicked on this post, you have considered the answer to this question:

There are a couple of things that make it tricky to know which tortillas are best to use when it comes to Weight Watchers Points:

1. The size of the tortillas. It can be hard to know if a tortilla is small, medium, large, 6″, 7″, 8″, 10″, 12″, soft taco, fajita, or burrito size. In the WW app, it could say “small tortilla” or “8 inch” tortilla, and on the package it could say, “fajita size.” Unless you bring a ruler to the store, it can be hard to know what is what.

2. The brand of the tortillas. Most stores only carry a couple of different brands of tortillas, so just because a recipe tells you to use a “La Tortilla Factory” tortilla, it doesn’t mean you will be able to find the La Tortilla Factory brand of tortillas in your grocery store.

3. Not all types of tortillas, or sizes, are on the WW app. Besides being hard to know what size the app is referring to sometimes, many tortilla types just aren’t on the app at all, so you would either have to scan each package in the store or enter in the nutrition facts for each one. I have personally gone online to find the nutrition facts and plugged the nutrition facts into the WW app to figure out which ones are low in Smart Points, so I could give a thorough list.

4. Most stores only carry a couple of brands of tortillas. There are so many other options for tortillas out there, but unlike the bread aisle, most stores do not have an entire aisle devoted to tortillas. Since all stores don’t carry the same brands of tortillas, I thought it might be helpful to list off a bunch of different brands as well as their lowest Smart Point options. That means you can find what brand your store carries on this list and then just find one of the ones suggested for that brand.

Having mentioned all those things, there is one winner that has risen to the top of this list…

Reasons why I believe these are the best ones on this list:

  1. They are 1 WW Point each. (These tortillas are one of the lowest in Smart Points on the list)
  2. They are 8 inches (many 1 Point tortillas are 6 inches… even smaller sometimes)
  3. They are highly rated (With 986 customer reviews these tortillas have a 4.8 star rating on Amazon.)
  4. Great price when bought online. (Some of the tortillas in this list can be quite pricey when you buy them on Amazon, but these are a great deal… at least at the time of me making this list. As of right now, you can get 6 (8 count) packs for just $26.00… plus shipping.)
  5. They freeze and thaw well. (This matters when you are buying them online and and getting 48 at a time)
  6. They are soft and fold over without tearing.
  7. Fiber count is very high and calories are very low. (11 grams of fiber and just 50 calories each… Your body will LOVE these!)
  8. They taste good.

(Olé is not paying me to say any of these things, but I am an Amazon affiliate and the links above are affiliate links.)

The nice thing about flour tortillas, unlike the low Point bread options, is that many of these tortillas can be bought on Amazon, so even if your store does not carry any of the tortillas listed below, you still have a way to purchase them!

I am including Amazon links for the tortillas on this list that are sold on Amazon. For the ones that aren’t on Amazon, I am linking to the product on the brand’s webpage so you can see what the packages look like. I am hoping this will help if you aren’t sure what size to look for.

One more thing before we hit the list…

Many stores carry their tortillas in one (or more) of three places in their stores… in the bakery/deli area, in the health food aisle, or in the aisle with the Mexican/Ethnic foods. My store carries tortillas on an end cap close to the aisle with Mexican foods. Of course, you can always skip the hunt and just ask a worker when you go to the store. 🙂
