Who doesn’t love a wrap? They are fun, portable, and there are so many ways you can use them to keep meal time exciting.
When it comes to flour tortillas, Hero Tortillas and Mission Carb Balance are two popular brands known for their quality and taste. While both brands offer their own unique features, we’re going to dive into which one gets my vote!
For the tastiest tortilla… Hero
I'm always striving to eat healthier, but I still want my meals to be delicious. On that front, Hero absolutely delivers. Hero Flour Tortillas have a soft texture and that enriches every bite. Toasting them on the stovetop brings out a sweet, crispy flavor that pairs perfectly with any taco or sandwich wrap. It's a low carb option that still tastes like the real thing.
On the other hand, I found Mission Carb Balance Tortillas to be dry and dull. I had a hard time enjoying my food because Mission's mealy texture overpowered the rest of the dish. Even worse, I had a hard time convincing my family to trade out our standard tortillas for Mission (but with Hero, they could hardly tell the difference!).
For the guilt-free option that still delivers on taste, go for Hero.
For the tortilla with the best ingredients...Hero
Hero Flour Tortillas contain 0g Sugar, 0g Net Carbs and are only 80 calories per serving. They’re crafted using only high-quality ingredients:
- Prebiotic fibers to improve gut health 🧘🏻♂️🌿
- Flaxseeds full of omega-3 fatty acids 🤸🏾
- Fava bean protein 💪
- Olive oil for antioxidants and vitamin E 🫒
With Hero Tortillas, I'm getting my daily dose of fiber and protein, and skipping out on all of the added sugars and carbs that usually make me feel lethargic and bloated.
While Mission may be low carb, I didn't feel as energized or well-nourished as I did after eating Hero.
For the tortilla you can buy in-person… Mission
Mission is the tortilla brand I see most often when I’m shopping in just about every store, and I’ve never had trouble finding even the Carb Balance variety (they make several). If you’re the type of person who only ever wants to buy food in a store, this might be the right choice for you.
Hero Tortillas are not as readily available in brick-and-mortar stores, but they’re very easy to order online. You can even get 10% off with subscribe and save! Simply choose how frequently you’d like them delivered (2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks) and buy 4 ($28) or 8 ($56) packs at a time.
With just a few clicks, it’s truly a set-it-and-forget-it option. And for such rich flavors and high-quality ingredients, I think it's totally worth it!
For the tortilla that shines in every recipe… Hero
When it comes to versatility, Hero Tortillas shine brightly. Whether I’m craving classic burritos, mouthwatering quesadillas, flavorful wraps, or simply enjoying a tortilla on its own, these tortillas really satisfy. They’re soft, pliable, and flawlessly hold an impressive amount of fillings without tearing or crumbling. They also had no problem containing juicier ingredients like fresh tomato without getting too soggy or drippy.
Their pliability, even when heated or toasted, makes them the perfect choice for tons of wrap-centric culinary creations. And I love how adaptable they are to each recipe I include them in, and how easily they contain a wide variety of fillings.

Mission Foods Carb Balance tortillas, on the other hand, tore really easily when I added extra toppings, and they didn’t hold up nearly as well to temperature changes.
