i am wondering why your diabetic recipes are usually so high in carbs? keeping my carb count down is the only way i am able to control my blood sugar, along with my insulin. lower carb recipes would be awesome!

The cumin overtakes all other flavors, also the baking sheet needs to be oiled a little otherwise the tortillas get very dry.
