Delicious! Call me American, but I’d never had flautas before (had to google how to pronounce it as I was waaaay off at first lol).

In reply to Isis.

Isis thanks so much for sharing your experience with all of us, its super valuable feedback. I’ve been educating myself a lot on this subject as of late, as my experience will vary a little as I’m metabolically healthy (I’m also going to be wearing a cgm though in the next few weeks to give you guys actual data… but also about how things such as sleep, exercise, meditation, cold therapy, etc affect it).

Alas! Do check out the A La Madre tortillas though, as they are lower in carbs (by about half I believe) than the regular corn tortillas. xo!

I eat low carb because I am a diabetic on an insulin pump, my goal being to have the most “normal” blood sugars possible. I also have a continuous glucose monitor (cgm) and thus can see how foods actually affect me in real time as they digest. Just wanted to weigh in – I totally have success eating small amounts of corn like you are talking about here!! A whole cob of corn…no. A big pile of corn chips…no. But something like a taquito, or taco, or tostada, with all the yummy ingredients/toppings etc, I have found is really quite benign as far as spiking my cgm graph. From repeat incidents I have learned that these types of foods are actually something I tend to count as more carbs than they truly seem to be, which I know because there is a carb:insulin ratio I follow and know works for me. Overestimating carb count=too much insulin administered=low blood sugar=proof the food is very low impact on blood sugar (hope I am making sense here). Anyway! I have never made taquitos before, got to try these bad boys out..think I might do beef. Thanks for the new idea, it will be fun!
