**Can also be baked in 350 F oven until golden brown. Brush with a dab of oil or melted butter before baking.

Tortilla has 5 g carbs
filling has around 2 g carbs

One serving is about 7 g of carbs depending on amount of filling used in tortilla.

You can add 1 tablespoon of whipped topping if you like but this will increase your carb count, depending on what kind of topping you use.
OR sprinkle with Splenda powder sugar.

To make your own filling: Cook sliced apples (cherries, peaches, apricots) in butter and Splenda sweetener until tender. Add cinnamon if using apples.
Then prepare as above.
