Mini Quiches, Bacon, Low Carb Tortilla

By Andrea Wilson | December 10, 2022 | 0 Comments

Two mini crustless quiches (Walmart), five slices bacon (folded), one Oroweat low-carb tortilla from Walmart. I’m doing a little experimenting with Oroweat low-carb tortillas, but I don’t really think they’re worth the carb expense.
