Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Noodles

2 low-carb tortillas e.g., Mission Carb Balance or La Banderita
1 tsp salt for boiling water

Sauce

1 cup your favorite sauce e.g., marinara, Alfredo, or stir-fry

Optional

1 tbsp butter or oil for pan-frying

Method

Step 1: Lay a tortilla flat on your cutting board. Roll it gently into a loose tube and slice into strips using a pizza cutter or knife. Choose your preferred width—thin for spaghetti, wide for fettuccine.
Step 2: Bring a pot of salted water to a light boil. Add tortilla strips and boil for just 30 to 60 seconds. Watch closely to avoid sogginess.
Step 3: Drain quickly and toss noodles with your favorite sauce while still warm to lock in texture and flavor.
Step 4 (Optional): For firmer texture, pan-fry noodles in a hot skillet with butter or oil for 1 minute. This adds bite and prevents sticking.

Notes

Choose Mission Carb Balance tortillas for the best results. Avoid overboiling to keep noodles firm. Pan-frying after boiling enhances texture. Great for keto pasta, ramen, or creamy dishes.
