Are There Any Low Syn Alternatives To Fajita Wraps?
Fajitas are typically made with tortilla flour wraps, but there is no reason as to why you can't save some syns by trying out some of these alternatives as wraps below.
Corn wraps - Corn wraps are much lower in calories than flour tortillas and essentially act the same when making fajitas.
Tacos - Tacos only have 3 syns per shell, so are much more syn friendly, there are no rules as to why you can't put your fajita mix in tacos!
Lettuce - Lettuce boats can also hold your fajita mix and eliminate the syns and carbs from your fajitas.
Sweet potato wraps - You can now find wraps made out of sweet potato rather than flour, these are lower in calories but can still act as a fajita wrap.
Last Words
To conclude, fajita wraps are also known as tortilla wraps and cost you around 8 syns a wrap or 4 syns if you choose mini tortillas, this can add a lot of syns to your fajitas once you've added the mix and toppings such as cheese or sour cream.
To save syns we suggest switching to lighter wraps such as weight watchers or choosing corn tortillas which have reduced calories.
