  • If you don't want to bother with the Joseph's lavash, sub a layer of corn tortillas, or really any tortilla or wrap. You'll just need to adjust your macros accordingly if you track.
  • If you use 5 Mission extra thin corn tortillas, a serving is going to be around 19 carbs instead of 14. Just 2 fewer grams of protein. Not a huge deal!
  • If you skip the lavash altogether, a serving is just 13 carbs. Tiny difference!
