If you miss sandwiches made with bread,
tortillas are the answer. Their dough is
unleavened so your intestinal tract digests
them more slowly than bread. They are one
of the few wheat or corn flour products you
can enjoy without giving yourself a glucose
shock. To make a "wrap," just wrap a
tortilla around a generous portion of
sandwich makings, fold one end so the
ingredients don't fall out, and gobble it
up. A sandwich made with two slices of
bread has a glycemic load of 260, while a
wrap made with a wheat flour tortilla has a
glycemic load of about 80. The glycemic
load of a whole-wheat tortilla is about
half that.
